Premier League: Mikel Arteta says Arsenal title dream still alive

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says his “dream is still alive” going into the decisive weekend of the Premier League season.

Defending champions Manchester City are two points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the table.

The league’s final round takes place on Sunday, with Arsenal at home against Everton and City hosting West Ham.

“I do believe,” Arteta told BBC Sport editor Dan Roan.

“We wanted to be in this position. We have earned the right to live a beautiful day in front of our people on Sunday with the hope and big opportunity that we can lift the trophy at the end of the match.

“We have the possibility to live a beautiful day on Sunday where the dream is still alive and it’s still possible. It’s football; we have to live the moment.”

West Ham would have to win or draw against City in order to give Arteta’s side a chance of becoming champions.

Arsenal have not won the league title since their ‘Invincibles’ lifted the trophy in the 2003-04 season.

The Gunners have a superior goal difference to City, which could come into play if Pep Guardiola’s side are held to a draw by West Ham.

However, if City beat West Ham then Guardiola’s team will take the title for a fourth successive season.
