Arteta's Relief

Feb 23, 2026

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says this morning's 4-1 win over Tottenham will be a huge morale boost for the Premier League leaders.  

This, amid doubts about the Gunners title hopes after they drew their last two matches... conceding late goals in both games.  

The win against Spurs means that Arsenal are now 5 points ahead of second-placed Man City, although the Gunners have a game in hand.  

Meanwhile, Arteta has played down any serious injury concerns for Ben White, who was left out of the match against Spurs.  

He says the defender picked up a slight knock and won't be absent for long.

Tottenham interim boss Igor Tudor has described their 4-1 home defeat to Arsenal as a reality-check, which revealed the huge gap in quality between the two clubs.  

The win extended Arsenal's EPL lead to 5 points over Man City, while Spurs are just 4 points above the relegation zone.

Man United will try to capitalize on Chelsea's dropped points, when the Red Devils travel to Everton for their Premier League match tomorrow morning.  

A win will move United into 4th place in the league, 3 points ahead of Chelsea, after the Blues drew 1-1 against Burnley at the weekend.  

United will have history on their side, as Everton have suffered more home defeats against them compared to any other team.  

Meanwhile United are still unbeaten under interim boss Michael Carrick, with 4 wins and a draw.
