Premier League Title Battle Not A Two-horse Race, Says Arteta

Mikel Arteta said on Friday the Premier League title race cannot be boiled down to a straight shootout between Arsenal and Liverpool as he urged his players to relish the battle.

The Gunners moved to within four points of Arne Slot 's table-topping Reds following their 2-1 comeback victory against Tottenham at the Emirates on Wednesday.

Liverpool had dropped two points against high-flying Nottingham Forest the previous day, though they still have a game in hand over their rivals.

Chelsea are 10 points behind Liverpool following a slump, while champions Manchester City are a dozen points off the pace.

But Forest are just two points behind Arsenal and in-form Newcastle are also in the mix.
