Despite a crucial defeat and a rough patch in form, Arsenal remains at the top of the Premier League with hopes of winning the title. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed his belief in the team’s potential, mentioning, “I believe today, I believe on Wednesday, and I believed a week ago because I see the players every day and know the level we have,” following a 1-2 loss to Manchester City.
Acknowledging the challenge ahead, Arteta added, “It’s a new league now. We have three points ahead, they have one game less.” With 70 points, Arsenal currently leads the table, closely followed by City with 67 points. The similar goal difference (+37 Arsenal, +36 Manchester) promises an exciting title race that may come down to goal difference.
This recent defeat marks Arsenal’s fourth consecutive loss in domestic competitions, after missing out on titles in the League Cup and FA Cup. Arteta emphasized the team’s determination, stating, “It’s still all open. We know how much we want it, and we will not give up.”
