Arsenal's Arteta on title hunt: "Every day is going to be a race"

Arsenal want to hold on to top spot in the Premier League at all costs as they sit two points clear of Manchester City. Moreover, Guardiola's side have threatened first place on several occasions.

The Gunners will face Leicester on Saturday in the English competition and are aware that every game is important to win the title. Spanish coach Mikel Arteta gave a press conference before Saturday's game and spoke about the current situation of the team.

"I think there are more teams involved and every day is going to be a race. Today it’s how we convince those players to train better, to play better against Leicester. We’re going to have to be really good to beat them, especially with the way they’ve been playing in the last few weeks.

"That you are able to win games in different contexts, in different situations and that you can never give up in sport, especially when there are still so many games to be played and in that game, so many minutes still to be played. We have to go there tomorrow, we have to play really well and we have to compete even better, and win that game which is going to be difficult," he added.
