I see revenge; Arsenal has become dull, Arteta warns Man City . Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has warned Manchester City and other Premier League opponents that his team is seeking “revenge” after losing their last two games.
In addition, Arteta stated that despite their title rivalry with Manchester City this season, Arsenal had lost all appeal in everyone’s eyes.
As the two sides compete for the Premier League champions this season, Arsenal is only four points ahead of Man City.
When the two teams clash in a pivotal matchup at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, Man City will have two games in hand on Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola’s team will play in the FA Cup semifinals this weekend. If Arsenal defeats Southampton on Friday at the Emirates, they will move seven points ahead in the Premier League standings.
Before Arsenal’s match against Southampton, Arteta acknowledged that he observes a “sense of vengeance” in his players.

“I see a sense of vengeance and a determination to get it even better and that it is not enough, and you’ve got to tweak it and demand more and more of each other,” Arteta said at his pre-game press conference. That is what we must keep doing.
Nobody is talking about what will happen on Wednesday; he continued, so we need to stop talking about anything else and concentrate on what needs to get done this morning.
