Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, is determined to keep his team's winning streak going and is also hoping for a slip-up from Manchester City in the Premier League title race. Despite City being one point behind with a game in hand, Arteta refuses to give up hope and is relying on his "heart and soul" for City to stumble.
After a loss to Aston Villa in April, Arsenal bounced back with three consecutive league wins, securing their spot at the top of the table. However, with City having one game in hand, they have the opportunity to take control of their fate and become champions again by winning their remaining four games against Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham.
To maintain the pressure on City, Arsenal must defeat Bournemouth in their early kick-off match on Saturday. Arteta emphasized the importance of not giving up, saying that there are still many points to play for in the remaining games. When asked if he believes City will drop points, Arteta replied with optimism, "In my heart and soul, this is what I am hoping for."
He also acknowledged the rollercoaster of emotions that come with hoping for a slip-up from City and then managing the team's emotions after City's potential win. Despite this, Arteta remains focused on the task at hand and knows that Arsenal must continue to perform, prepare, and win in order to maintain their momentum.
Arteta is well aware of City's track record of being at their best during the final stages of the season. He recognizes the difficulty of competing with a team that consistently reaches high point totals. However, he remains determined to push Arsenal to their limits and give City a run for their money.
After facing Bournemouth, Arsenal will travel to Manchester United where they could potentially hand the title to City if they are unable to secure a win. Their season will end with a home match against Everton on May 19th. With the Premier League being as unpredictable as ever, Arteta knows that anything can happen and he and his team are up for the challenge.
