Every word Mikel Arteta said on Arsenal injuries, Man City form, Tottenham and Jurrien Timber

How do you feel about Arsenal's chances in the title race with four games to play?

That we are there. We have to look at ourselves and perform the best possible way and win our matches and wait to see what happens. That's what we discussed. It sounds a bit repetitive, but that's what we have to do.

Is it a two horse race now?

I don't think so. This league is tremendously demanding and there can be still a lot of turns. We know what we have to do to win this league.

How pleased are you with the way your side has responded to adversity this month?

It's been great. Not just the results but the performances as well. We had a big one against Chelsea in the London derby and we're going to need to have another big one against Spurs on Sunday.

How big is it to have nearly everyone fit?

Yeah, availability we mentioned before, that it was something key. Apart from Jurrien it's going to be very close that we have everybody available. That's a huge boost that elevates the training sessions, the competition, between the players and the alternatives to pick the right line ups to change the game. It’s going to be something very important.

How excited does that make you for future seasons?

We are fully focused on this one because there's still a lot at stake and we want to get the job done. We know it's a very young team with a very bright future and still a lot of room for improvement. We will try to keep developing it.
