Mikel Arteta says Arsenal must “flip that coin” in their quest to be crowned champions of England following two agonising near-misses.
The second-placed Gunners, runners-up to Manchester City over the past two seasons, are six points behind Arne Slot’s rampaging Liverpool, who have a game in hand, having played half their league fixtures.
Arsenal beat Brentford 3-1 in their last match on Wednesday but stumbles in October and early November mean the Gunners are playing catch-up and Arteta on Friday pleaded for consistency from his men, who travel to face mid-table Brighton on Saturday.
“We have to show the same level of consistency and a bit more because the last year, we have been the best team in the league, broken various records and still haven’t won a major trophy, so something is missing,” said the Spaniard.
