Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has insisted he learned nothing from Manchester City's 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night. The result kept City in the Premier League title race, meaning Arsenal cannot secure the championship with a win over Burnley on Monday.
City's win was sealed by goals from Antoine Semenyo, Omar Marmoush, and Savinho, with Phil Foden providing two assists. The victory moved City level on points with Arsenal, with a superior goal difference of one.
When asked if the result changed Arsenal's approach, Arteta said: 'First of all, we have to earn the right to win the game. To make a difference with more goals, even better.' He added: 'We focus just on the things that are in our hands, which is to prepare in the best possible way to beat Burnley.'
Arteta also refused to discuss potential title celebrations, saying: 'We prepare to beat Burnley - that's it. Again, I'm sorry. We're not thinking about that kind of thing. The only focus is on Burnley and winning that game.'
Should Arsenal fail to beat Burnley, City can move top of the table with a win at Bournemouth on Tuesday. Before that, City face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
