Mikel Arteta has insisted he will give up on the title race “over my dead body” and suggested Arsenal could have found themselves in mid-table this season given their poor disciplinary record.

Arsenal head to third-placed Nottingham Forest on Wednesday trailing the leaders, Liverpool, by 11 points after surrendering their 15-match unbeaten Premier League run against West Ham.
