"Arsenal have reached the turn in front and will now aim to move away from the chasing pack and secure their first Premier League title since 2003. The Gunners start the year with a four-point advantage at the top of the table but history is not on their side, having failed to land the crown the last five times they have started January at the summit."
""It was very good against tough opposition, to perform and win in the manner that we did," said Arteta on Friday. "Great. The focus is now on Bournemouth. We know how tough it is going to be, tomorrow's game, and everybody's at it." Arsenal have lost just twice over the first half of the season but Arteta is demanding more. He added: "We are still in early January so we have another five months to go and we have to do much more.""
Arsenal sit four points clear at the top of the Premier League at the January turn and are targeting their first title since 2003. The team has a worrying precedent of failing to convert five previous January leads into championships. Manager Mikel Arteta has assembled a deep squad prepared for a congested fixture list and has not ruled out further January signings. Arsenal showed occasional nervy single-goal wins but produced an emphatic 4-1 victory over Aston Villa. Bournemouth remain winless since October and face uncertainty over winger Antoine Semenyo’s future, though he is expected to play.
