Mikel Arteta is calling on Arsenal to channel their frustration from a controversial Champions League draw into their Premier League title pursuit. The Gunners drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in the semi-final first leg, where a late penalty for Eberechi Eze was overturned by VAR.
Arteta's 'Siege Mentality' Call
Speaking ahead of Saturday's clash with Fulham, Arteta emphasised the need for a 'siege mentality' and highlighted the team's hunger to win the Premier League. 'We have enough fuel in the tank,' he stated, insisting that the disappointment in Europe can fuel their domestic campaign.
Title Race Dynamics
Arsenal currently lead the Premier League table, and a win against Fulham would extend their advantage to six points over Manchester City. However, City have two games in hand, keeping the title race finely balanced.
Team News
Captain Martin Odegaard is expected to feature against Fulham, providing a boost to the midfield. However, Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz remain sidelined due to injuries.
Arteta's men will be eager to maintain their momentum and put pressure on City as the season enters its decisive phase.
