Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admits he sees them winning the Premier League this season.
The Gunners visit Manchester United at the top of the table on Sunday.
Arteta said: “My brain always takes me to the place where we lifted the Premier League. That's where my brain is right now. So I just follow my brain and my instincts. That's how I feel and that's how I want everyone to think and hopefully we can achieve it.
“We are on the journey to try to catch them. It always makes you better when someone challenges you to go further and further. City's recent history has been one of winning trophies. As an opponent they have been incredible for the last 15 years, but we want to change that. We are doing everything we can to improve (to challenge them) and we are getting better and better. We have done very well this season and we hope to be able to do the same (against Manchester United) on Sunday.
“Each game has a different context. We know our history (at Old Trafford) and how we have done there, so we are going to have to give our best to win the game. We know what we have to do, but first we have to perform at a high level to deserve to win the game. “That’s where the focus is.”
“We have to focus and do what we have to do to be in the best situation possible. That's what we're doing. We have to think that it will work and that we can be better than our opponent and beat him. The end result could be different, but that is not under our control.”
