Arteta Arsenal title points target Liverpool City wins

Mikel Arteta hints at needing to win every game for Arsenal to secure the Premier League title after tough competition.

Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has shared his thoughts on the number of points needed to win the Premier League in the 2023/24 season. Arsenal is currently in a thrilling three-way title race with Manchester City and Liverpool, sitting in third place. Arteta recognizes the importance of not dropping unnecessary points if they want to secure the league title after 20 years.

In a recent interview, Arteta humorously admitted that he never gets the points prediction right when asked. He emphasized the demanding nature of the league, suggesting that winning every game might be necessary. With Arsenal currently on 58 points and the maximum achievable being 94, Arteta believes that anything under 90 points would make it very difficult to win the league.

With 12 games remaining, Arsenal can only afford two slip-ups according to Arteta's calculations. The team faces tough matches against Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Aston Villa. Despite the challenges, Arsenal has the best goal difference in the league and will look to capitalize on this advantage in upcoming games.

As the season progresses, Arsenal will need to maintain consistency and focus to stay in the title race. The upcoming clash between Manchester City and Liverpool could work in Arsenal's favor, but they must remain vigilant and perform at their best to achieve their goal of winning the Premier League.
