When the Premier League resumes following the World Cup break. Mikel Arteta has urged league-leading Arsenal to build on their success and win their first title since 2004.
When English football’s top division resumes following the World Cup break. Mikel Arteta has challenged league leaders Arsenal to pick up where they left off by capturing their first Premier League championship since 2004. When the league was abruptly suspended to make room for Qatar to host the first World Cup contested in a northern hemisphere winter. The Gunners were in excellent form, having won 12 of their previous 14 games. Fans and analysts have been debating whether the break will help or hinder clubs’ goals throughout the entire season, with Arsenal currently operating without Gabriel Jesus after the latter was sent home early from the World Cup due to a knee injury sustained during Brazil’s shocking loss to Cameroon.
But Arteta remained upbeat before his team’s return to Premier League play on Monday against London rivals West Ham at the Emirates.
According to him, the more consistently the club plays the way he wants them to, the more victories they will have. He made this statement to Sky Sports.
There is enthusiasm, and we should embrace that excitement and the potential that lies in front of us.
Arsenal now leads Manchester City, the defending champions, by five points.
When they visit struggling Leeds on Wednesday. City will be the final title challenger in play during the Boxing Day holiday round of games.
On Monday, third-place Newcastle, who receives funding from Saudi Arabia, travels to face Leicester.
Magpies won a significant domestic trophy
The last time the Magpies won a significant domestic trophy was in 1955. And given how desperate the northeast club is to break that streak. Howe used all five of his players who were in Qatar in a spirited 1-0 victory over Premier League rivals Bournemouth to advance his team to the League Cup’s round of eight.
With Tottenham and Manchester United, who are now in fourth and fifth place, nipping at Newcastle’s heels. Champions League qualifying is still very much a possibility.
Given their standing, United may have the greatest pressure to finish in the top four, although manager Erik ten Hag stated. “I believe that the managers of Chelsea (Graham Potter) and Newcastle (Eddie Howe) both make significant investments in their teams. There is therefore obvious pressure on every manager to qualify for the Champions League.”
