Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest versatile defender, Olaoluwa Temitayo Aina, has revealed what Arsenal must do to win the English Premier League title at the end of the season, Soccernet.ng reports.
Mikel Arteta’s side have ended up in second place for two consecutive English Premier League seasons, losing top spot to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
The Gunners are currently third on the league table this season after 17 games, and are six points behind Arne Slot’s Liverpool who occupy the top spot with a game in hand.
Arteta has more headaches as Raheem Sterling and his talismanic attacker, Bukayo Saka, are currently injured, leaving the squad thin on options to play in attack. It is also worth noting that Arsenal will play ten games over the next four weeks across several tournaments which includes away trips.
