Arteta sets Arsenal points target for Premier League title success | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta has said Arsenal will need to ‘get over 90 points’ to win the Premier League title this season.

Arsenal lead the Premier League title race by two points, as the Gunners look to end a 22-year wait for title success.

The North Londoners have ended the previous three campaigns as runners-up, and Arteta admits his side will need a 90+ points total to get over the line this season.

Arsenal face winless Wolves this weekend but Arteta is taking nothing for granted as top meets bottom in the Premier League table.

“[There is that risk] in any Premier League match and especially against a team that is fighting for results. I know the manager well and how he will push his players. We know what we have to do.

“In the end you are going to have to get over 90 points to win it [the title], that means winning a lot of football matches.”

Asked how Arsenal will avoid complacency against a Wolves side with just two points this season, Arteta insisted his team will not underestimate the visitors.

“By showing them the team that they are, understand that a team in that position has to react and show their teeth. That’s a dangerous thing in this league and when a team has the quality they have. So it’s [being complacent] is not going to happen.”
