Threatened To Be Evicted By Man City, Arteta Doesn't Give Up Bringing Arsenal To Win The English Premier League
JAKARTA Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta still has hopes of bringing his team to the Premier League win even though their chances start to shrink following disappointing results in recent matches. Currently, the Gunners still have control of the top of the standings. However, three consecutive draws have recently made their positions threatened to be shifted by Manchester City who are trailing in second place. To keep the chance to win, Arteta's side need to win the remaining games this season. That includes one away game against City at the Etihad Stadium, Thursday, April 27. I can't wait (against Manchester City). This is a game you want to face. When it's at stake, you have to go there to win," Arteta said as reported by BBC Sport. Arteta's team to date has collected 75 points from 32 matches that have already been played. They excel as many as five points over City in second place. However, City have a great chance to take over the top of the standings because they still have a delayed two-match savings. Pep Guardiola's team will automatically be a favorite if they are able to beat Arsenal at Etihad later. Arteta said that in order to end the 19-year-old league title drought then his squad had to secure maximum numbers at the time away to City, where the Gunners have not won since 2015. This young team reacted in an extraordinary way, when against obstacles, but the chances they created and the passion they had... were very pleasant to watch. The message is clear that I love them, said Arteta.We are slumped and they prefer to win it over anyone. You can see that spirit and fight in the dressing room, but obviously we have to do more defensive things better, he added.
