Arsenal boss Arteta: Dubai camp key to sustaining title tilt

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta credits their winter training camp in Dubai for sustaining their title push.

The Gunners are going head-to-head with Manchester City in the final stretch.

Arteta said: The power of the sun in Dubai! That's what the people are saying. If they believe it, so be it. It was a sensational time for us, it was a great camp, we really enjoyed it, we trained hard and we had moments as well to reconnect with who we are and what is important for us to win football matches.

"It was a big breath of fresh air and it gave us big power.

Honestly, it sounds boring, but it's going day by day and making sure that we do every single day every single task in the best possible way, with the same energy, with the same freedom and letting players and staff flow as well. They are fully committed, they really want to win, you see a different competitive edge in a lot of the players, you see that around the club as well and what it takes to win."

He also said: We are right in it with two games to go. We need to do what we have to do. We need to go to Old Trafford and perform really well to earn the right to win the game, and if we do that we're going to be another step closer, but there's still a lot to do.

I'm just in a state at the moment where I just think how I have to feel right now to be in the best place to beat Manchester United. I'm really enjoying the journey to win. We weren't in this position for many years and we are right now and I think it's our duty, our obligation, to really enjoy it, be the best we can be and see where it takes us."
