Mikel Arteta acknowledges that, at this stage of the season, Arsenal cannot afford to be complacent despite their good performance.
The Gunners have been in fantastic form this year, consistently delivering strong performances. They find themselves in a serious title race alongside Liverpool and Manchester City, both of which are considered stronger favourites.
Both Liverpool and Manchester City have secured league titles at least once in the last four years, but Arsenal hasn’t claimed the championship since 2004.
It is a tough title race as all three teams do not want to be the first side to drop points, making every Arsenal game a must-win for the Gunners.
Speaking after his side secured the 6-0 win against Sheffield United, Arteta insists there is no room for them to rest on their laurels.
He said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘We don’t know whether goal difference will be crucial.
‘The fact we are scoring that many goals and not conceding any is a great sign. But it’s about winning every game now and that’s the demand those two clubs have put over the last six or seven years – that’s the task ahead of us.
‘It was a great night, as this is a really difficult place to come. But still the most important part of the season is to come. We have got to constantly keep improving and be better. You can’t be satisfied and I love that the players keep pushing.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have to remain in form for the rest of this season if we want to win the league because the two clubs ahead of us do not look like they will drop too many points.

The Gunners will do us Arsenal a bigger favour at week no. 29 into this season’s Epl campaign.
By maintain absolute winning consistency that they’ve attained. When next at home they play against Ivan Toney’s Brentford led attack team on Saturday in the Epl.
And to beat them and beat them decisively in the match. And mount to the top of the table to sit there after beating them.
Which from the Arsenal’s point of view come to pass. Before Liverpool at home play against Man City on Sunday that followed.
But as us Arsenal including Arteta and the Gunners know very well that points will be dropped in the Liverpool vs Man City big game clash.
But whichever way the that envisaged drop points are dropped by any of the two big teams. The drop points will be to the profit of Arsenal to profit from the drip points.
By either to remain on top of the table that they’ve mounted to the top of it. But if they’ve beaten Brentford as being widely expected by us that they will beat them and even beat them comprehensively too.
Therefore, having won 7 matches consecutively in the Epl. Coming after they had returned from their winter break Dubai training camp.
And there after subsequently turned to become an Epl all conquering free goals scoring top team club side.
The Gunners SHOULD maintain this winning consistency that they have set in their match winning run to date. By extending their winning run to eight on the run before the international break. And scatter the Bees out of their bees-hives wantonly in the match. With or without the big Bee Toney playing in the match.
Arsenal SHOULDN’T miss out on beating Brentford to miss out on moving to the top spot of the table. Or come down to the 2nd spot. But if one of Liverpool or Man City won the Anfield big game clash on Sunday,
Using the words of a great, realistic, creative and, most importantly, sensible supporter, ME!!!, makes excellent reading.
That was what I said I wanted to see after we finished 5th and that’s exactly what’s happened.😂😂😂
Actually isn’t that what we all want?
