Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side will not give up on the Premier League title race despite slipping further behind leaders Liverpool after Saturday's loss to West Ham United, insisting the team have done well despite injuries and setbacks.

Arsenal is 11 points off the lead, has an injury-ravaged forward line and has seen yet another player get suspended after a red card.

Former Arsenal star Jay Bothroyd believes a current Premier League manager boasts all the credentials required to succeed Mikel Arteta. Saturday’s defeat against West Ham all but ended the Gunners’ latest pursuit of the Premier League title with 11 points now the gap to Liverpool at the top of the table.
