Arteta Confident Arsenal Players Remain Focused on Title Pursuit
19/04/2026 – Following a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reiterated his team’s unwavering belief in their ability to win the Premier League title.

The manager emphasized the team’s continued focus on achieving their primary goal. He expressed confidence in the squad’s capabilities, suggesting a resolute determination to challenge for the Premier League crown.
Arteta’s comments reflect a strategic approach to the remaining games, prioritizing a strong finish and a realistic chance to win.
