– I didn’t know about that information… it’s time to break that spell, Arteta answered on Friday when asked by a journalist if he knew that the Gunners had missed the opportunity to become champions five times when they entered the new calendar year as the leaders in the Premier League.
After 19 rounds, Arsenal is the leader with 45 points, followed by Manchester City with four points less. Third-placed Aston Villa are six points behind, while defending champions Liverpool, who are in fourth place, have 12 points less. On Saturday, the Gunners visit Bournemouth, which is in 15th place.
– We are satisfied with the position we are in, but we know that we can always do better and that there is room for improvement. There are still five months until the end of the season, we have a lot of work ahead of us. The players show great desire and energy, let’s enjoy the process day by day, and now we are focused on Bournemouth, said Arteta.
The British analytical company Opta believes that Arsenal is a big favorite to win the title of English champion, estimating that its chances of achieving that goal are as high as 78.98 percent.
