Mikel Arteta’s problem-solving: Issues for Arsenal as they return to Premier League title run-in

The Premier League returns this weekend with Arsenal sitting nine points clear of Manchester City at the top, albeit having played a game more.Mikel Arteta’s side also face a trip to the Etihad on April 19 in what will be a crucial game in the run-in as Arsenal chase a first title in 22 years.Since their previous league game, they have lost the Carabao Cup final to City and been knocked out of the FA Cup by Southampton to cause some concern and nervousness among the fanbase. They have since, however, put in a solid performance away at Sporting CP on Tuesday to take a 1-0 lead into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final and will be hopeful of progressing. a.showcase-link-container { display: flex; gap: 20px; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; padding: 20px 0px; border-top: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); text-decoration: none; color: #121212; cursor: pointer; .showcase-link { font-family: nyt-franklin; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; line-height: 13.8px; letter-spacing: 1.1px; text-transform: uppercase; } .showcase-link-image { border-radius: 8px; object-fit: cover; width: 200px; height: 150px; margin: 0px; @media (max-width: 600px) { width: 120px; height: 120px; } } .showcase-link-inner-content { display: flex; flex-direction: row; gap: 16px; width: 100%; } .showcase-link-text-content { display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 20px; justify-content: center; @media (max-width: 600px) { gap: 8px; } } .showcase-link-title { font-family: nyt-cheltenham; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 120%; /* 24px */ letter-spacing: 0.01px; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow: hidden; display: -webkit-box; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; -webkit-line-clamp: 3; @media (max-width: 600px) { font-size: 16px; } } .showcase-link-excerpt { font-family: nyt-imperial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 139%; /* 19.46px */ col...
