William Saliba has insisted Arsenal must embrace the pressure of the title run-in as the club enter the final 10 matches of the Premier League season with the championship firmly within reach.
With a first league title in 22 years in sight, Arsenal begin the closing stretch at home to Chelsea on Sunday, knowing their fate remains in their own hands following last weekend’s emphatic win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Saliba said: “It’s good, but we know that it’s not finished. We have 10 more games.
“We know that it’s in our hands – if we do well, if we win all the next 10 games we would win this league, but we know that it’s not easy.
“There is always a pressure because it’s the best league in the world but we’ll give everything and we will embrace the pressure.”

The 4-1 victory at Tottenham extended Arsenal’s record against London sides to 18 wins, six draws and one defeat from their past 25 such fixtures.
Arsenal are also unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with Chelsea, a run stretching back to August 2021.
