Arseal boss Mikel Arteta is confident Manchester City will drop points before the end of the season.

The Gunners top the table by one point from City, which have a game in hand.

"In my heart and in my soul…this is what I am hoping for, yes," said Arteta, when asked if City may drop points.

“You know what is going on [with my emotions]. You just want to win and to win you need others to drop points and you are hoping for that to happen.

“And then [after City win] you have to manage your emotion, because it doesn't matter what happens on that day.

“There are still a lot of games and points to play for. You are going to have to perform, prepare and win the next match in order to maintain that momentum. This is what we are trying to do."
