Mikel Arteta sees little margin for error if Arsenal are to become championsBy Mark Mann-Bryans, PAMikel Arteta saw his Arsenal side go eight points clear at the Premier League summit following a deserved win at Tottenham – but insists a successful title tilt will “demand almost perfection” for the rest of the campaign. It means, on the back of Manchester City losing at Manchester United on Saturday, that Arsenal have widened their gap at the top of the table ahead of the visit of Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils next Sunday. Arsenal now have 47 points from their opening 18 games and, with five of the last six champions exceeding 90 points, Arteta knows they have to keep up their electric pace. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta credited the “emotional control” of his players (PA) Photo by Nick Potts“To have the emotional control in these occasions is extremely important,” he added. In my opinion, Arsenal and City are the two teams that can fight for the title.
