"Arsenal visit Tottenham on Sunday for a North London derby that could have massive ramifications at both ends of the table, with the Gunners feeling the pressure at the summit. After conceding a 94th-minute equaliser in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with bottom club Wolves, Arsenal are five points clear of Manchester City having played an additional game. Should Pep Guardiola's side beat Newcastle United on Saturday, they will be within two points of the Gunners by the time they take to the field against their arch-rivals."
"That's individual opinion, and you have to respect that. You lose two points against Wolves in the manner that the game played out, and you have to take it on the chin. That's it. It's part of our role. But it's not part of my vocabulary and I don't see it like this because I don't think anybody wants to do that as an intention. I wouldn't use that word."
Arsenal dropped a 94th-minute equaliser to draw 2-2 with bottom club Wolves and now sit five points clear of Manchester City despite having played an extra game. Pep Guardiola's side could be within two points if they beat Newcastle before Arsenal face Tottenham in a decisive North London derby. Mikel Arteta rejected the label "bottlers", calling it an individual opinion and saying the term is not part of his vocabulary. Arsenal have failed to win from a leading position in three of their last five league matches, prompting reminders to enjoy the position earned and block out outside noise.
