Arsenal Determined to Win Against Manchester City, Not Settle for a Draw, Says Arteta

Football News

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is adamant that his team will pursue victory during their upcoming Premier League title decider against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. He stated that the idea of preparing for a draw has not crossed his mind even for a moment.

The Gunners currently hold a six-point advantage over City, though they have played one more fixture. A draw in this encounter could significantly propel them towards securing the championship they are so eager to win. Statistical analysis from Opta suggests that if the match ends in a tie, Arsenal would stand an 89% chance of lifting the Premier League trophy.

Unfortunately, Bukayo Saka will remain unavailable for this critical game due to an Achilles problem. Arteta views the trip to the Etihad as a “big opportunity” for his squad.
