    Mikel Arteta: Arsenal's 9-point lead at top of Premier League means 'nothing'

    Mikel Arteta says Arsenal aren't focusing on their lead at the top of the Premier League. (0:33)

    Mikel Arteta has claimed Arsenal's nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League means "nothing" despite his team piling the pressure on Manchester City.

    The Gunners eased to a 3-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday as Martín Zubimendi's 20-yard drive opened the scoring on 42 minutes before substitute Viktor Gyökeres struck twice late on.

    City must now respond with their game-in-hand at last season's champions Liverpool on Sunday, a venue where they have won just once in 22 league trips.

    Arsenal's advantage is the biggest lead they have enjoyed since the final day of their 2003-04 title-winning campaign, the last time they won the league.

    Gyökeres double keeps Arsenal on title track in stroll past sloppy Sunderland

    There are times when the best thing for a side is an uneventful win. Titles are won less in the big set-piece games than against mid-table teams in the easily forgotten circumstances of a Saturday afternoon. Arsenal weren’t brilliant against Sunderland, but they were good enough to win comfortably, and that increases their lead at the top of the table to nine points, adding a degree of extra pressure to Manchester City’s Sunday visit to Liverpool.

    “They’re really tough opponents, really good at what they do,” said Mikel Arteta. “It’s very difficult to get sequences with threat and momentum, so I’m delighted with the performance.”

    We maintained our six-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a convincing 3-0 win at home to Sunderland on Saturday.

    Martin Zubimendi opened the scoring in style with half-time approaching, before Viktor Gyokeres' second-half brace wrapped up the three points in N5.

    Analyst Adrian Clarke has gone back through the footage to discover exactly what made us so clinical:

    One of the key tactical patterns of this encounter was the way we allowed Declan Rice or Martin Zubimendi to become our ‘spare man’ inside the final third.

    Mikel Arteta has said failing to maintain his "great" relationship with Pep Guardiola amid a title race would set a "bad example" for sport and instead pointed to the respectful rivalry between tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

    The pair first met at Barcelona's La Masia academy when Arteta was just 15 years old and he later worked under Guardiola at Manchester City for three seasons prior to becoming Arsenal boss in 2019.

    Mikel Arteta addresses Pep Guardiola 'mind games' after shock Arsenal claim

    Mikel Arteta revealed he still speaks to Pep Guardiola and insisted that will not change despite Arsenal going toe to toe with Manchester City in the title race.

    The pair are close friends after Arteta spent more than three years at City as Guardiola's assistant.

    That relationship has been maintained since Arteta took charge at Arsenal in 2019, even with the two clubs challenging at the top of the Premier League.

    Guardiola claimed last week that Arsenal are the best team in the world and Arteta was asked whether he thought that was the City boss playing mind games.

    On whether the two managers are still able to speak away from the pitch despite their rivalry, Arteta continued: "Yeah, I don't talk [with him] like with my wife, but we talk generally. I think he talks about how he feels, and that's it.

    Arteta: Arsenal are 'far from perfect'

    Arsenal are "far from perfect", despite their healthy leads in the Premier League and Champions League, so says Mikel Arteta.

    The Gunners head into the weekend with a seven-point cushion at the top of the Premier League, albeit that could be cut to four points by the time they host Manchester United on Sunday.

    They are also three points clear in the Champions League, with their midweek win over Inter meaning they are sure of their place in the top two of the 36-team standings.

    Pep Guardiola labelled Arsenal as the clear standout team in England, and though they have a 93.1% chance of winning the Premier League title, according to Opta's predictive model, Arteta warned that his team are not the finished product.
