Mikel Arteta knows how he can beat Man City to league title

Arsenal battled Manchester City for the Premier League title till the last day of the season.

The Gunners ended up losing the title to Pep Guardiola’s Man City, who won their fourth successive league title.

Arsenal have fought Man City for two seasons in a row for the Premier League title and ended up in second position on both occasions.

‘No one has to explain what the level is because I was there four years every day and I know what we have to do if we are going to reach there. Not only for one season, but for the rest, but we are on the right path.
