Arteta will be ‘biggest’ Bournemouth fan with Premier League title in reach | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta says he will be cheering on Bournemouth against Manchester City on Tuesday with his Arsenal side one result away from winning the Premier League title.

The Gunners hold a five-point lead over City following their 1-0 win over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.

That means the north London outfit can claim their first title in 22 years if City drop points against the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium. Should Pep Guardiola’s men win, the title race will go down to the final day, which takes place this Sunday.

Arteta will be ‘biggest’ Bournemouth fan with Premier League title in reach

When asked by Sky Sports if he’s going to be a Bournemouth fan on Tuesday, Arteta answered emphatically: “The biggest ever!”

“For Andoni, and all the players and all the supporters of Bournemouth, I think we are all [Bournemouth fans] because we know what it means if they get a result.”

Asked if he will send Iraola any message or advice, Arteta said: “I don’t think it’s needed.

“What he’s done in that football club, the transformation, what they are playing for, I don’t think they need anything else.

“When you look at how Burnley played today, the spirit that they show, how difficult they made it, imagine [Bournemouth].”

Arteta revealed he will be watching the match at home with his family, rather than watch with the Arsenal players.

“I don’t know how long I am going to watch it,” he said. “I will be there in front of the TV but I don’t know how much I am going to be able to watch it, that is the reality.”
