Mikel Arteta is convinced
Champions League football remains within Arsenal’s grasp and that a strong run on the resumption of their
Premier League campaign would reignite their hopes of a return to Europe’s elite.
Arsenal are 10 points behind fourth-placed
Chelsea and it is some gap to make up over the next 13 games given they have won twice in the Premier League since 6 October, with their only back-to-back victories coming in the first fortnight of the campaign. Arteta, though, refuses to give up hope.
