The second-placed Gunners sit two points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool ahead of a hectic April schedule.
Mikel Arteta accepts Arsenal may have to win each of their nine remaining Premier League fixtures to be crowned champions as he prepares for the “most beautiful part of the season”.
“It’s going to have to be really close to that,” he replied when asked if Arsenal need a 100 per cent record from now on to finish top of the table.“When you see the level and the consistency of the other teams and historically what is needed to win in this league, it’s not going to be very far from that.“We worked every single day with that enthusiasm and passion to make it happen and enjoying the moment as well.
Pep Guardiola’s hosts dominated possession but were toothless in attack as the Gunners’ defence excelled. While the Gunners are overwhelming favourites for victory on Wednesday, they required a dramatic added-time winner to escape Kenilworth Road with a thrilling 4-3 success in early December.
