""That's what the players transmit every single day when they're with us, training, and in every match. You can see their desire. You can see the energy that they put in, and how much they want it. "There are still five months to go. Let's take it day-by-day, enjoy that process of being where we are, and go for it.""
"Since their last Premier League title in 2004, Arsenal have failed to win the title on each of the five occasions when they started the year in top spot. The most recent season where this happened was during the 2022-23 campaign, when Arsenal finished five points behind Manchester City despite leading for the majority of the title race. Ahead of their upcoming trip to Bournemouth, Arteta insisted that his team are determined to put an end to that run."
Arsenal begin 2026 top of the Premier League after a 4-1 win over Aston Villa, but have historically failed to convert such positions into titles since 2004. The club has missed out on the title on five occasions after starting the year in first, most recently finishing five points behind Manchester City in 2022-23 despite leading for much of the race. Mikel Arteta says players show desire and energy and urges a day-by-day approach across the remaining five months. Arsenal have lost one of their last 16 league games and have a strong scoring record versus Bournemouth.
