"We have had our struggles throughout. We started really well in terms of results, games were really close, then we had a phase of the season where games were still really close but we were constantly unlucky. Now we have been eight games unbeaten but if you say this you feel like: They are flying through the league.' But that is not what we are doing."
"The Premier League champions are 12 points adrift of Mikel Arteta's leaders after a goalless draw with Leeds on New Year's Day.
