Mikel Arteta gave up his role as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City in 2019 to take charge of Arsenal
Mikel Arteta is chasing down his Premier League dream with his long-time mentor Pep Guardiola gradually gaining yards on him.
The six-point lead Arsenal have at this stage is an impressive one, but with the momentum shifting in Manchester City's favour, every decision will feel more important than the last for the Gunners boss.
Prior to the Champions League quarter-final tie against Sporting, "no fear, pure fire" was Arteta's rallying cry to the players and fans. And as the Spaniard calls for pure fire from those around the club, some may be hoping for the same in his tactical set-up in the final few weeks of the season.
Novel solutions, on and off the pitch, no matter how small, might decide the title - so let us take a closer look at how Arsenal have played recently and what this means for the run-in.
