The challenge for Mikel Arteta is to prove they can go the distance this time after a late collapse ended their title hopes last season. “We have experience of being where we are today. We should be really happy because that shows a lot of consistency for this new group … to lead two years in a row.

The Gunners have drawn again at Anfield, but go into Christmas one point ahead of second-placed Liverpool and Aston Villa, third on goal difference.Defending Manchester City will be happy after seeing its three main rivals drop points this weekend. Villa drew with Sheffield United 1-1 on Fr...
