Mikel Arteta insists the Gunners can still win the Premier League ahead of a vital clash against Chelsea even though the defeat against Man City was a ‘reality check’.The North Londoners have so far been at the Premier League summit for 247 days and Arteta was asked by the press how he sees that piece of statistics.‘Tomorrow, 248, this is what I want. Win and be at the top. The reality is that for 247 days, we’ve been there.’We can still be there. There are five games to go. It’s not about the mood. It’s keeping that fire in the belly.’ the Basque said the morning after Arsenal dropped to second in the table behind Manchester City.‘We can still achieve the Premier League. There are five games to go. What we have to do is forget about what happened last week (the 4-1 loss to City). It took us a while to get over what happened at the Etihad. We’re at home, a London derby, put things right.’ Arteta sad of Chelsea’s visiting the Emirates Stadium tomorrow. ‘The disappointment was across the club. It was a big night and we didn’t produce the performance we wanted. We deserved to lose the game and we have to move on. ‘It was a good reality check as well, in the way they raised the level and we could not step to that level. We still have the nicest part of the season to play with five games to go. I’d pay a lot of money next season to be in this position, believe me.’##NAJAVA_MECA_7220357##Few predicted that the Gunners would lead the Premier League caravan for so long – most saw them fighting for the top four and returning to the Champions League.‘We are in the Champions League and everyone is still unsatisfied with the situation.

The demands have to be there.’Mikel Arteta has told his Arsenal players to make sure they spend a 248th night at the top of the Premier League table by beating Chelsea, but they will be without William Saliba yet again.Saliba will remain sidelined by a back injury with Arsenal missing their influential centre back.The way the Blues are performing lately, this should be easy three points for Arsenal but one should never underestimate the pressure of a London derby.Lucky Jota saves Liverpool in a seven-goal thriller
