Arteta's side could end up finishing second for the third successive season. The Spaniard has had to defend his trophy record with the ex-Manchester City assistant not claiming any silverware since winning the 2020, but was keen to underline how Arsenal's points total would've been enough to make them champions in recent years.

He said: "Winning trophies is about being in the right moment in the right place. Liverpool have won the title with less points than we have in the last two seasons. With the points of the past two season we have two Premier League [titles]."

Arteta has moved to explain the reasons for Arsenal's failings this season. The north Londoners have drawn 14 times with the Spaniard also bemoaning their injury record as well as the amount of red cards they've had to cop.

He said: “One is the amount of games and time that we have played with 10 men, and then the availability of the squad throughout the 38 games. It’s very, very difficult to manage and to have very strong performance consistently. We dropped a lot of points, we dropped a lot of points when we were ahead as well which is something that really needs to improve.”
