Premier League
LONDON
Arsenal have the squad depth that can help the team be more unpredictable, manager Mikel Arteta said, as the north London club look to open up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table when they host Everton on Wednesday. Arsenal lead the league standings with 57 points after 24 matches, two points above second-placed Manchester City who have played a game more.
“The fact we have options right now, that we have players coming back from injury is going to be crucial because players cannot maintain the same level for 10 months, it is just impossible,” Arteta told reporters on Tuesday.
“We need to change and be more unpredictable and we have those options now.”
A win over Everton would take Arsenal’s tally to 60 points after 25 league games, making them just the third Arsenal side in history to achieve this. “That means nothing,” Arteta said, adding that there would still be 13 games more to be played.
