On Sunday, the Gunners host Liverpool in the Premier League. If they win, they will have a 14-point lead over the Reds, thereby eliminating them from the title chase.
Excepting penalty shootouts, Arteta’s team has only won twice in 20 matches.
“You truly need to believe that you can compete against those clubs to win those matches,” the Spaniard stated.
“If you lack that element, you have fear, and fear is your worst adversary, especially when playing against the best teams, who frequently rely on it to win football games.
“You cannot carry any of that into the game on Sunday, just like we did when we faced the Spurs (in last Saturday’s 3-1 victory),” said the referee.
