Wednesday night could prove to be something of a turning point for Arsenal’s season. As Liverpool faltered at Newcastle, the Gunners came through a tricky test against Manchester United to run out 2-0 winners.
The result allows them to claw two points back on Arne Slot’s side at the top of the league, cutting the deficit to seven points. Mikel Arteta isn’t getting ahead of himself yet though.
“We want to have the right to win the games,” the Spaniard said in his post-match press conference. “If we perform the way we’re performing right now, we’re going to win a lot of games. But right now is about Fulham.
With the focus now on Sunday’s trip to Craven Cottage, Arteta has a few big decisions in his in-tray. First up is what to do about his back line.
William Saliba was the standout performer against Manchester United, but Arteta singled out squad players Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko for praise after the game. “Big credit to Jakub and Alex,” he said.
