Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned his players they may never get a better chance to win the Premier League than this title race with Manchester City.
The Gunners were in the ascendency until a disastrous April saw them draw with Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton before losing comfortably to City. While Arteta's men faltered, the Blues rose to the occasion and took all the Premier League points available.
On top of this, Pep Guardiola's side managed to solidify their hopes of winning the treble thanks to Champions League and FA Cup triumphs. Saturday's victory over Leeds saw City move four points clear of Arsenal but the gap can be cut to one point if the north London club can beat Newcastle United on Sunday.

Ahead of the trip to the north east, Arteta urged his players to seize the moment despite the odds being stacked against them. "It is the best time [to win the league] because this is the moment - right now," he explained.
"The best time is when you have something and try to take it, especially in elite sports. Because you don't know when you are going to have another opportunity.
"That is what we're trying to do. We're going to Newcastle to win and continue to be there.
"We have to compete with those teams, for sure, because we are Arsenal Football Club. The demands are to be the best in everything we do, so we have to find a way to do that."
