Arsenal needs to improve their consistency.
Mikel Arteta is confident that Arsenal can take the Premier League title this season. After a hard-fought draw against Liverpool on Saturday, Arsenal remain top of the table at Christmas, just one point ahead of the second placed Reds and third placed Aston Villa.

Arteta believes his team have what it takes to go all the way, but there is one area they need to improve if they are to succeed - “killing games”.

Speaking after the 1-1 draw at Anfield, Arteta said: “There are some things we have to improve, especially killing games with the amount of dominance that we are showing. Sometimes the results have been too close, where we have had to dig in the last few minutes to maintain results and that is it, nothing else.”

Arsenal have been missing five key players for a number of months, but Arteta is still pleased with their level of performance. He said: “Hopefully, we have sustained that level with five key players out because we lost five very, very important players for us for many, many months. The team has still shown that, so that is something we really have to maintain, which is the quality in the squad and how willing they are to do what they do every single day.”

Arteta was full of praise for his team’s performance against Liverpool, describing the game as “one of the most intense and hectic games that I have witnessed in 20 years in this league.” He said: “The quality, the intentions of both teams… It was superb to watch it and we as a team with the boys willing to play at that level, to have the courage to play at that level, the determination and belief to do what we’ve done here, I think my players deserve big, big credit.”

Arteta is confident that with the right improvements, Arsenal can take the Premier League title this season. He said: “The team has the ability to do something really special. We have to keep pushing and improving in the areas that we can.”
