Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal should have won two Premier League titles in recent seasons. Despite finishing as runners-up in the last two campaigns, Arteta remains confident his team can challenge Liverpool for the title this year.
Mikel Arteta believes his Arsenal side should have two Premier League titles to their name given the standards they hit in recent seasons - and the reality they are empty-handed gives the Gunners boss faith his team can catch Liverpool. Arteta's Arsenal spent the previous two seasons competing with Manchester City at the top, hitting 84 and 89 points but having to settle for the runners-up medal on both occasions.
This season, City are out of the picture but Liverpool go into what looks like a pivotal weekend at the top of the Premier League table with a six-point advantage with a game in hand.

'We are only halfway and already the amount of talking we have expensed for weeks and weeks and weeks about the title race? It's nonsense. 'Because there are a lot of games to play and in this league, it can be one, two, three and everything is changed. We have to be ready.' Asked what Arteta has learned from the last two seasons, he responded: 'That you can always do better and you can always improve. With those numbers, normally you win and we should have two Premier League
