Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal will have to be almost perfect in their pursuit of Manchester City if the Gunners are to end their long wait for a Premier League title. Arteta’s side enjoyed a record-breaking 2023/24 campaign, winning more games than ever before in the division, but were still pipped to the title.
City finished two points above Arsenal thanks to their last-day victory against West Ham, rendering Arsenal’s win over Everton irrelevant. Arteta, speaking ahead of Arsenal’s league opener at home to Wolves on Saturday, was asked what it would take to finally win the title after finishing as runners-up to City in the last two seasons.
