The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

Gay, he's one of the best centre-backs in England this season.

The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

I just think those two signings might play a massive part in what happens with the title race between now and the end of the season.

And obviously Arsenal go to City, don't they?

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

It's scheduled for April the 18th.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

I'm sure it'll get moved, but it's obviously back end of April.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

If City are within touching distance, the back end of April, I think that they'll think that this is theirs to win.

ESPN FC

It's a two horse race.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

win the league at a counter so that's what i mean about being the worst title race for a long time there's not a good there's not a great team everyone's going to have a problem in the second half of the season about how he manages the europa league in the premier league just like amram had last season and just like pasta koglu did because he's going to be torn about what do you go and try and win a trophy which comes with champions league football or do you try and get champions league football through the premier league and i think because the europa league offers you both of those things

And Villa fans, a lot of Villa fans, you know, this is anecdotal because it's just what I've heard on social media and on the radio and stuff.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

Villa fans will want to win a trophy.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

And I just wonder whether, when the going gets tough at the back end of the season, whether they're going to start resting players in the league.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

depth but you know Leicester won the league by pretty much using 13-14 players in the running so it's just because City and Arsenal for me are just not showing signs of pulling away but both those sides will lose more games and also they've got the Champions League to contend with because sitting here right now I feel like Arsenal are going to go deeper in that competition than City are and so it becomes how you I've just talked about Villa and how they manage that it becomes about how Arsenal manage it and I know they've got a really deep squad but

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

ESPN FC

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?
