Liverpool is in second place, also with 64 points.<\/p>\n<p>A victory would not only break Arsenal\u2019s nine-year losing streak at the Etihad but also bolster their chances of clinching the Premier League title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done a lot already to be in the position that we are and now we have to embrace and enjoy the moment and go for it,\u201d Arteta shared with reporters on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(City) have raised the bar in this league, I think in football in general, to a level that hadn\u2019t been seen before,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd that\u2019s the beauty of the sport, that makes you better, that challenges you more and you have to keep up with that pace. And that\u2019s what we are trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners have been on a winning streak, securing victories in their last eight league matches and scoring a remarkable total of 33 goals.<\/p>\n<p>Arteta, who was previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2024\/03\/pep-guardiola-expresses-caution-regarding-jude-bellingham-ahead-of-city-vs-madrid-clash\/\">Guardiola\u2019s<\/a> assistant at City before assuming his role at Arsenal, acknowledges that their relationship has evolved now that they are in opposing dugouts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has to change, (but) my admiration for him certainly not,\u201d Arteta expressed about Guardiola. \u201cMy opinion is he is the best coach in the world by a mile and he\u2019s one of the nicest people I have met in football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut our roles at the moment are where they are and it has to adapt to the situation. Probably I would prefer to (beat) somebody else that I don\u2019t have those feelings (of friendship), but it is not a choice. We both want to win. We know each other very well and I will prepare the game to win it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arteta disclosed that despite not having trained since the team\u2019s return from the break, forwards Saka and Martinelli, and centre back Gabriel, might still play in the match.<\/p>\n<p>Saka is dealing with a hamstring injury, while Martinelli (foot injury) and Gabriel (Achilles) did not participate in Brazil\u2019s matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a chance,\u201d Arteta stated. \u201cThey haven\u2019t trained but tomorrow we have another session.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FotoJet-2023-11-13T171333.620-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Rodri Reflects: \u201cNo Regrets\u201d in Manchester City\u2019s Chelsea Draw\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Rodri Reflects: \u201cNo Regrets\u201d in Manchester City\u2019s Chelsea Draw<\/h5>\n<p>4-4 draw: City vs. Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
