Mikel Arteta: A Relentless Quest for the Premier League
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has emphatically stated that he will not concede the Premier League title race, despite his team trailing leaders Liverpool by 11 points. In a recent press conference, Arteta declared, “Over my dead body,” emphasizing his determination to continue fighting for the championship.
Arsenal’s recent 2-1 defeat to West Ham United has widened the gap between them and Liverpool. Additionally, the team has faced challenges with discipline, accumulating five red cards this season, which Arteta believes have adversely affected their title pursuit.
Despite these setbacks, Arteta remains optimistic about his squad’s resilience and ambition. He acknowledges the difficulties posed by injuries and suspensions but insists that finishing as runners-up for the third consecutive season would still be a significant achievement.
Looking ahead, Arsenal is set to face third-placed Nottingham Forest on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, in a crucial match that could impact their standing in the title race. Arteta has called for consistency and focus from his players as they approach the final stretch of the season.
