Arteta says that Arsenal needs to keep putting pressure on Liverpool’s lead

Manager Mikel Arteta said that Arsenal needs to be steady in the second half of the season to keep the pressure on Liverpool, who are currently in first place in the Premier League, and give themselves a chance to win their first title since 2004.

With 36 points from 18 games, Arsenal is in third place, nine points behind Liverpool and one point behind second-placed Nottingham Forest, who have played one more game.

“We’re not responsible for the title race.” Arteta told reporters before their game at Brentford later on Wednesday, “We have to keep being like a hammer and be there every day.”

“We congratulate the winner and move on to the next season if someone wins all of their games.” We’ll be there if they don’t, which has never happened before in recent history.

Arsenal has come in second place the last two years, but the Spanish boss said that his team has gotten much better this year.

“We’ve proved that already this season, I’m sure of that,” said he.

We’ve played a lot of games with only 10 players because of injuries and red cards this season. It would have been hard to get to this point in the competitions we’re in now.

“There is no doubt that the team has taken another step. The team is growing and changing with the times. We now have a new one with fewer players and more games. Alright, let’s be honest.
