Mikel Arteta believes there are benefits to Arsenal being in the position of the hunter in the Premier League title race, despite preferring to have points on the board.
A win over West Ham on Saturday would reduce the gap to leaders Liverpool to just five points, with Arsenal then facing Manchester City.
While Arteta would prefer Arsenal control their own destiny, he sees momentum as a powerful factor, especially after two seasons of being chased by Pep Guardiola’s City.
He feels the team’s recent performances can build their confidence and make them mentally strong for the challenge ahead.
Meanwhile, Arteta has urged Raheem Sterling to step up and make an impact on Arsenal’s season.
The England international, on loan from Chelsea, has struggled this season, with only one goal in the EFL Cup and a single assist.
He is expected to make just his fifth league start against West Ham, as Arsenal deal with injuries to key attacking players.
He stated, “Raheem is so experienced, and we need him.” Arteta also stressed that past performances don’t matter—what matters is Sterling’s focus and readiness to contribute moving forward.
