Arsenal's Arteta Confident in Premier League Title Bid

Mikel Arteta, the current coach of Arsenal, has expressed that the team remains confident in their pursuit of the Premier League title, despite falling behind Manchester City in the race. Arsenal is currently level on points with City but trails on goal difference.

The Gunners are set to reclaim the top position if they avoid defeat against Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium. Just over two weeks ago, Arsenal had a strong lead in the title race, opening a nine-point gap before suffering a defeat to AFC Bournemouth, which allowed Manchester City to take control.

Arteta emphasized that belief within the squad remains high following their recent 2-1 loss to City. He also mentioned the anticipated return of key players Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori from injury as they prepare to face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-final next week.

Meanwhile, Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, appears to be in peak form as they prepare for their FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.
