Arteta warns Arsenal players ahead of Tottenham derby

Mikel Arteta warned his players ahead of Sunday's north London derby with Tottenham after Arsenal threw away a two-goal lead to Wolves and saw their advantage over Manchester City cut to two points. Speaking before the match, Arteta asked, "Do you want to be part of the noise, or not?

If not, go and do something else." He said supporters had demanded a return to title contention for years and that "noise is part of it, and the bullets are part of that," adding that the only thing the team can control is winning the next match. Pep Guardiola also offered a title message after Manchester City's win over Newcastle, saying many things will happen, fixtures and injuries will bring trouble, and his players must relax now, focus on Leeds and improve their level.
