Speaking ahead of his side’s fixture against City’s neighbours Manchester United on Wednesday, Arteta also said Bukayo Saka has the potential to emulate former Old Trafford star Cristiano Ronaldo. Arsenal host United nine points adrift of table-topping Liverpool, but two points clear of City with Pep Guardiola’s side slumping to four consecutive defeats in the league and six losses in seven in all competitions – the worst run of the Spaniard’s managerial career. However, when asked how vulnerable City now are, Arteta – Guardiola’s former assistant – replied: “It is a team that has the capacity to turn this around and win, win, win and win. United are 15 points off the Premier League summit, and half a dozen points behind the Gunners, but Arteta did not rule out new head coach Ruben Amorim’s side launching a surprise title bid.
