Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has vowed to keep fighting for the Premier League title despite his team facing a significant gap in the standings.
The Gunners currently trail the leaders by eleven points, a deficit that has led many to write off their chances of claiming the top spot.
However, Arteta remains defiant, insisting that his team can still mount a challenge for the title.
The Spaniard's optimism is admirable, but it is easy to see why many are skeptical about Arsenal's chances.
The team's forward line has been decimated by injuries, with several key players currently sidelined.
To make matters worse, another player was recently suspended after being sent off, leaving Arteta with a selection headache.
Despite these setbacks, Arteta is refusing to throw in the towel, and his determination is likely to be tested in the coming weeks.
Arsenal's title hopes may seem like a long shot, but Arteta is adamant that his team can still make a push for the top.
Only time will tell if the Gunners can overcome their current difficulties and mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title.
