Arsenal should have no crisis of faith if they miss out on title
A narrow margin of failure to claim the Premier League will frustrate, Mikel Arteta has moulded a steely team of winners
It was a one-word answer to a question and, at its heart, cut through every variable or imponderable Sunday’s title deciders may throw up. Mikel Arteta was asked whether he believed in miracles: “Yes,” came the response, a smile creeping across his face and laughter quickly cascading around the room.
There is little danger of Arsenal leaving anything to chance against Everton, but no amount of rationalising can alter the fact they are relying on an outcome 160 miles north-west that would thoroughly confound the odds.
