Gunners Close the Gap with Leicester Victory
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has sent a strong message to Premier League leaders Liverpool, declaring that his team is “not going to stop” in their pursuit of the title. The Gunners’ 2-0 victory over Leicester City on Saturday, courtesy of a late brace from substitute Mikel Merino, has reignited their title hopes, cutting Liverpool’s lead to just four points.
Arteta’s Determined Message
Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Arteta emphasized his team’s hunger and determination to challenge for the title.
“We really want it,” Arteta said. “The team wants it, we’ve had seven or eight months working on that. We’re not going to stop—let’s see how far we can go!”
The win at the King Power Stadium came at a crucial time, especially after Arsenal’s midweek 2-2 draw at Everton. With 13 games remaining in the season, Arteta is confident his squad can maintain their momentum and push Liverpool all the way.
Unbeaten Run and Tough Fixtures Ahead
Arsenal’s victory extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 15 games, showcasing their consistency and resilience. However, the road ahead is far from easy. The Gunners face a challenging set of fixtures, including clashes against West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, and Chelsea in the coming weeks.
Liverpool’s Chance to Respond
Liverpool, meanwhile, have the opportunity to re-establish a seven-point lead when they host Wolves on Sunday. But Arteta’s warning makes it clear that Arsenal are ready to pounce on any slip-ups from the Reds.
What’s at Stake?
As the title race heats up, Arsenal’s determination to end their two-decade wait for a Premier League title is evident. Arteta’s men are playing with confidence and purpose, and their recent form suggests they are serious contenders.
For Liverpool, the pressure is on to maintain their lead and fend off a resurgent Arsenal side. With both teams showing no signs of slowing down, the battle for the Premier League crown promises to be one of the most thrilling in recent memory.
