Mikel Arteta said Arsenal must be consistent in the second half of the season to keep the pressure on Liverpool.

LONDON: Arsenal must be consistent in the second half of the season to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool and give themselves a chance of winning their first title since 2004, manager Mikel Arteta said.

Arsenal are third in the standings with 36 points from 18 matches, nine behind Liverpool and one behind second-placed Nottingham Forest, who have played one more game.

“It (title race) doesn’t depend on us. But, we have to continue to be like a hammer, be there every day, every day,” Arteta told reporters ahead of their match at Brentford later on Wednesday.
