CurrentReport Blog Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has acknowledged the challenges his team faces in the Premier League title race following their recent 1-1 draw against Chelsea. Gabriel Martinelli gave Arsenal the lead, but Pedro Neto’s late goal for Chelsea forced the Gunners to settle for a point at Stamford Bridge. The result leaves Arsenal in fourth place, nine points behind league leaders Liverpool and trailing Manchester City and Chelsea as well.
In his post-match interview, Arteta expressed his concerns, emphasizing the team’s ongoing injury issues. “There’s nothing we can do about that [the title race],” Arteta admitted, stressing his hope for a fully fit squad. “It’s been a nightmare. What I’m praying for is that we have the team physically equipped, as the desire is there, and we want it.”
Arsenal’s title hopes have been hampered by inconsistent form and player absences, but Arteta remains focused on improving their performance as the season progresses.
