A fuelled-up Mikel Arteta said he is “on fire” and holds “zero fear” that Arsenal’s season is on the brink of a devastating collapse as he launched a passionate defence of his under-attack side.

The Gunners’ campaign is in danger of falling apart after a third domestic defeat in a row opened the Premier League title door to Manchester City, who they play in a pivotal match at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
