Arteta reveals the thing they will need to beat Manchester City to the title

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has opened up about what his team will need in their Premier League title race with Manchester City. The Gunners are currently leading the table with 73 points after 30 games, but they are closely followed by second-placed Manchester City, who have 67 points and a game in hand.

Arteta believes that luck will play a crucial role in the title race. “You need luck in the title race,” he said as per Chris Wheatley. “That luck and what you think is going to happen. Sometimes it’s about inches and they have to go your way.”

The Arsenal manager is right to point out the importance of luck in football. Injuries, refereeing decisions, and even the bounce of the ball can all have a significant impact on the outcome of a game. However, luck alone is not enough to win a title.

Arsenal will also need to maintain their current form if they want to stay ahead of Manchester City. The Gunners have won their last seven league games and have only drawn once in their last eight matches.

In addition to their strong defense, Arsenal also have an impressive attack led by Gabriel Martinelli, who has scored 14 league goals this season. The Brazilian winger has been instrumental in Arsenal’s success this season and will be crucial for them in the remaining games.

However, Arsenal’s title hopes could be derailed by injuries or fatigue as they compete on multiple fronts. Despite these challenges, Arteta remains optimistic about his team’s chances of winning the title.

In conclusion, luck will undoubtedly play a role in Arsenal’s title race with Manchester City, but it will not be enough on its own. The Gunners will need to maintain their current form, balance their squad carefully, and rely on their key players if they want to lift the Premier League trophy at the end of the season.
