Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has sent a clear message ahead of the crucial Premier League clash, stressing that his team will not play for a draw.
"We will prepare the game to win, that's for sure. We will not waste a second talking about a draw," declared Arteta, clearly showing the mentality of the "Gunners" on the eve of the challenge against Manchester City.
This match is considered one of the most decisive of the season, as Arsenal leads the championship by six points over City, even though the latter have one game less.
Despite a draw being a favourable result on paper for the Londoners and significantly increasing their chances of winning the title, Arteta has categorically rejected this approach, insisting that his team will only play for the three points.
Arsenal come into this match after a period of inconsistent form in the league, including a recent defeat to Bournemouth that reopened the title race. However, the London team remain top and are in contention for a first league title in more than two decades.
