Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has said they “will not bottle” the final two Premier League fixtures.
The Gunners travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday knowing defeat would mean City are crowned champions for the fifth time in six seasons.
Arsenal held an eight-point lead earlier in the campaign but their recent run of two wins from seven matches led to accusations Arteta and his players have struggled to cope with the pressure of the run-in as City surged clear at the top.
Asked if they will be title contenders on an annual basis after the progress they have made, Arteta said: “We have shown this season. We’re still there, with two games to go we can still be champions against probably the best team in Premier League history.
“For 10 months we’re still there. There’s two games still to go and we’re not going to bottle that for sure. What happens next season will depend on what we do how, we evolve and how we start. That prediction is very difficult to do today.”
