Mikel Arteta doesn't believe Liverpool can maintain top spot until the end of the season

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned Liverpool that their eight-point lead will be difficult to sustain until the end of the Premier League season.

Quote. When asked about Arsenal’s ability to catch up with Liverpool in the standings, Arteta replied: “Well, yes, we’ve been there. And maintaining that for ten months is extremely difficult. Everything has to go your way.

And unfortunately, just when you think you can do it, one day, bang, it all falls apart. And that can happen due to results, injuries, or other decisions. It can happen at any moment. We have to be ready for that.”
