Arteta demands big results

Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal can overcome another "mental barrier" this year and get results against their biggest rivals.

Heavy defeats at Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City dented Arsenal’s title bid last season but Arsene Wenger’s side still finished just seven points behind champions City.

An improvement in those top-of-the-table clashes could make all the difference and Arteta thinks a win over City in tomorrow’s Community Shield would set the right tone.
