Arsenal may have gained ground on Liverpool in the title race, but Mikel Arteta is in no mood to rest on his laurels. "We want to have the right to win the games," the Spaniard said in his post-match press conference after Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Manchester United. "If we perform the way we're performing right now, we're going to win a lot of games. But right now is about Fulham.
"We have to go there. We know the experience of last season. We have to prepare really well to earn the right to win there and continue to do that. The rest, we don't know."
The Gunners dropped five points against Fulham last season that Arteta admits were crucial in the title race. “Unfortunately it’s not that easy,” he said when asked about gaining those points back this season. “There can be things like if you’ve not been at your best, if the opposition plays well and it can be other factors. This season that has already happened.
“We have to learn from it and make sure that you are better equipped and prepared for the next one when you have the chance to do it.”
It’s crucial that the Spaniard gets his team selection spot on therefore. Here’s who football.london are expecting him to pick.
