Mikel Arteta demands champion mentality from his squad

Arsenal are now five points ahead of Man City in the league table.

The Gunners thrashed Everton 4-0 last night to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.

They currently stand at 60 points after 25 matches, five points ahead of champions Manchester City.

Boss Mikel Arteta believes the team will be relentless in their pursuit of the league title this season.

The team was under scrutiny for signs of weakness after they were beaten by Manchester City earlier last month.

But time and again, the Arsenal squad has shown their mentality and ability to turn things around at the club.

After the game, Mikel Arteta was asked whether they are the favourties in winning the title this season.

“It is something that we have to train, discuss and build,” Arteta said. “It is not easy. But a lot of the time it happens through experiences and most of the time it is experiences that you don’t want to go through.

“The calendar, the fixtures [are] going to give you that. Sometimes you are here, sometimes you are three points, two points, minus two, it is going to happen and we have to deal with that.”
