Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged his players to capitalise on leaders Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Everton in midweek. As they look to cut the gap from seven points behind to four and pile up the pressure.
The Reds were held to a stoppage-time equaliser in the Merseyside derby, with head coach Arne Slot sack after the game and warn by the Football Association (FA).

“Everton equalising against Liverpool in stoppage time helped us in terms of momentum,” he said at the pre-leicester press conference (February 15).
“It seems to help when you see the performance of your own team, what we did in the Champions League, what we did in the Premier League, England.”
“Even though our bodies are in such a battered state, we can still spark a lot of faith.”
“The players responded well to the result and it helped create an atmosphere where I could build on it. The boys want to be push harder, they were not satisfy with this and they will not stop.”
Regardless of injury problems, Arsenal will be huge favourites to win that clash and for their London derby against West Ham the following weekend. Though some more challenging fixtures arrive after that, those six points could prove pivotal especially considering the teams Liverpool must face before the March international break.
