The odds on Arsenal claiming their first Premier League title are lengthening by the game but manager Mikel Arteta still believes his young side can hold Manchester City at bay.
For the third game in a row, the Spaniard went through the full gamut of emotions as his side drew 3-3 at home to bottom club Southampton on Friday, having trailed 2-0 inside 15 minutes.
Arteta admitted to feeling “empty” at the final whistle, yet his side will still go to Manchester City on Wednesday for what could be a pivotal clash, with a five-point lead. “I cannot wait, these are the games you want to play. When everything is at stake you have to go there to win,” Arteta said. “This young team reacts in a way that is incredible when it is against the odds but the chances they created and the spirit they had it was a joy to watch,” Arteta said.One Arsenal player with experience of title wins is former City forward Gabriel Jesus.“Now is the difficult moment. It is time now to stick together until the end,” he said. “We still have a lot of things to do this season. It’s not over, we are still five points clear.
