Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of Arsenal's clash with Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners look to retake the lead at the top of the Premier League table. After their defeat to Manchester City and then Pep Guardiola’s single-goal win over Burnley on Wednesday night, the points and goal difference are level with five games left to play.
The scenario has put an emphasis on winning but also on scoring goals, with the potential for a shootout to the final day, a real prospect if both teams are perfect for the run-in. Mikel Arteta, however, has consistently spoken about how difficult it is to win any game in the English top flight.
He hopes to have some good news when it comes to his team, too. There are expected to be updates on Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori in addition to any further issues suffered from the defeat at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
