Mikel Arteta makes Man Utd comment while issuing his Premier League title prediction
Mikel Arteta stated that in order for Arsenal to have any chance of winning the Premier League, the club needs to reach 90 points; however, he emphasized that his sole concentration is on the upcoming match between Arsenal and Manchester United.
As a result of the Gunners’ victory over Tottenham in the North London Derby on Sunday, they are now eight points ahead of the rest of the teams in the Premier League table.
In point of fact, following Manchester City’s loss to a red-hot United team on Saturday, it now appears that Arsenal is in position to win the Premier League for the first time in 18 years.
It would take a monumental slip-up on the part of the Gunners for them to fail to meet the goal.
In spite of this, Arsenal’s match on the following Saturday against United, who have won their last nine games in a row, has the potential to be an additional game that determines whether or not they win the title.
Arteta insisted that his team needed to amass a significant number of points in order to win the league, despite the fact that Arsenal is comfortably positioned at the top of the standings, and he added that his attention was currently focused on the club’s upcoming match against United.
When the Spaniard was asked if his team needed more than 90 points to win the League, he responded, “Yes, I believe that to be the case.”
“I do not wish to perform an excessive number of calculations. We are going to approach the upcoming match against Manchester United in this manner in order to secure an additional three points, play well, and demonstrate that we are deserving of victory.
You ask me about points, but considering that it has occurred in the previous four or five seasons, it will require almost perfect performance.
At present Arsenal are on course to surpass 90 points. Despite this, Arteta remained cagey when asked about the likelihood of his team winning the league title this season.
After victories over West Ham and Brighton, a draw with Newcastle, and a resounding victory over Spurs in their most recent four games, the team from north London enters the match without any trepidation, despite the fact that the red-hot United are up next on their schedule.
