Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits that he was taking talk of a relegation battle seriously, and claims his side still has much to do.
The Gunners are back up to 13th in the division after back-to-back wins over Chelsea and Brighton, but were as low as 16th at one point.
We certainly had the form of a team that would be fighting relegation, but our wins should see our team build closer to the places we should be.

Are we assured safety from a relegation battle? Did any of you take the talk seriously?

Well we’re not out of the woods yet. It’s still quite precarious – injuries to one or two key players could put us back in trouble so I think ensuring these guys are managed properly is critical.
