Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta despite being 11 points behind and suffering injury setbacks said he is not yet handing over the title to Premier League front runners Liverpool.
The Gunners will be away to Nottingham Forest Wednesday after Saturday’s 1-0 home loss to West Ham and according to Arteta said it would be “Over my dead body” he gives up the fight.
“Mathematically, it is possible. You are there, you have to play every game.”
“We probably have to do something nobody else has done in the history of the Premier League.”
Arsenal will visit third place and equally ambitious Nottingham Forest without Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus – because of injury. Another absentee will be left back Myles Lewis-Skelly, who is suspended after his red card against West Ham.
Arsenal has received five red cards this season, two more than any other team.
“If somebody tells you at the start of the season that by this time, you have played five times with a red card over half an hour in each of those games, and you have lost this amount of players, what’s the bet? You are in the middle of the table, at least, and you are out of the Champions League,” Arteta said.
“That’s not the situation. So that tells you the resilience, the resources, the ambition that the team has, every individual has, and that has been probably one of the proudest moments in my time working (here).”
