Arsenal are currently five points clear at the top of the Premier League having won 14 of their 17 top flight games this season.
And Merson reckons Arteta’s lack of options on the bench, as well as his lack of “trust” in £34m summer signing Fabio Vieira is a problem at the Emirates.
“There’s nobody on the bench bar Fabio Vieira, who Mikel Arteta paid £34m for and doesn’t seem to trust. Then, two days after that game, Man City are looking like they might draw against Chelsea, but they just bring on Grealish and Mahrez and one crosses it, one scores. “Arsenal would have to take four points off Man City in those two games to have absolutely any chance of winning it. Otherwise, I just don’t see how Arsenal are going to do it.”closing in on a deal for long-term target Mykhaylo MudrykArsenal have agreed personal terms with Mudryk, who has made his desire to join the Gunners clear in recent weeks.
