Victory over Manchester City on Sunday will be a boost for Arsenal's Premier League title hopes, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Arsenal v Manchester City, the Arsenal boss has delivered a message to frustrated fans about the lack of transfer activity at the club.

Haaland was fired up after the game against Arsenal in September. The Norwegian came to blows with Gabriel Magalhaes and even had an angry exchange with young Myles Lewis-Skelly, who didn’t back down. The most famous moment came after the full-time whistle, when Haaland told Arteta to ‘stay humble’, which was absolutely unnecessary.

Arsenal have turned their attention to Ollie Watkins as they try and secure January reinforcements for Mikel Arteta's attack. Villa have rejected a bid from the Gunners for their striker with the end of the winter transfer window looming less than a week away.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was pleased that Myles Lewis-Skelly 's red card was rescinded but criticised the abuse aimed at referee Michael Oliver by fans. The 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly has escaped a three-match suspension after the FA overturned Oliver's decision to send him off in Saturday's 1-0 win at Wolves.

Mikel Arteta opted against waking Myles Lewis-Skelly up to tell him his red card had been overturned, but he is confident the Arsenal teenager will have a “big smile on his face”. Lewis-Skelly was facing a three-match ban after he was controversially sent-off against Wolves for tripping Matt Doherty to stop a counter.

The reaction from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after their clash at Wolves on Saturday was lively, as expected, as his side rallied to win late. After going down to 10 players in the first half when Myles Lewis-Skelly was controversially sent off, Arsenal dominated the second half as Joao Gomes was sent off for Wolves.

Pep Guardiola insisted his relationship with Mikel Arteta is “exceptional” as he shrugged off suggestions Manchester City ’s clash with Arsenal on Sunday is a grudge match. The Catalan also said City may carry on spending, despite paying out £122m in the January transfer window to bring three players to the Etihad Stadium.

Gary Neville believes Arsenal and Mikel Arteta are inflaming fans’ claims on social media that referees are "corrupt" against the club. The latest controversy suffered by the Gunners saw Myles Lewis-Skelly sent off for a foul on Wolves' Matt Doherty, a decision which left Arteta "absolutely fuming " after the game, which Arsenal won.
