Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says his side has “a point to prove” ahead of Thursday’s pivotal Premier League clash with Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium — a match that could significantly shape the title race. Arsenal currently sit top of the table with 48 points from 20 games, five clear of second-place Manchester City.
Arteta stressed the importance of maintaining momentum in the title fight and praised the Emirates crowd ahead of the high-stakes encounter.
With Manchester City and Aston Villa both dropping points this yesterday, a win for Arsenal could see them move eight points clear of their nearest rivals in the title race, tightening their grip on the Premier League.
