The final sprint is launched, and it started with a big loss for Arsenal, beaten by Manchester City last weekend and moved to second after the victory of the same Citizens against Burnley on Wednesday evening. Is morale affected for the Gunners? No, assures coach Mikel Arteta, on the eve of facing Newcastle.

“Energy, confidence and clarity of purpose are at maximum. Five games to go – tomorrow, first game. We’re going all out! Victory tomorrow. First match, and we will be even closer to the goal »he said, in a resolutely optimistic and voluntary speech. “I have confidence in our players, in our team and in our desire to achieve our goals. Five games to go, four weeks. Two major competitions to go, everything is still possible. If we had been told at the start of the season, we would have signed straight away. » It remains to be seen how this will end!
