Arteta Confident Arsenal Can Bounce Back in Premier League Title Race

Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal remain in the Premier League title race despite trailing Manchester City on goals scored after City’s 1-0 win over Burnley. The Gunners can return to top spot if they avoid defeat against Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. A nine-point lead just weeks ago has been reduced by recent losses to Bournemouth and Manchester City, but Arsenal still control their destiny. Arteta is undaunted. “Five games to go. Tomorrow is game one – all in, let’s go for it,” he said. “I believe in our players and our people and what we want to achieve.” Arsenal expect Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori to return from injury for the Newcastle clash, while Manchester City appear to be peaking at a crucial moment.
