Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta looks towards Wolves


Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is looking towards the crunch victory match over Wolves after his side sealed back-to-back Premier League wins by beating 2-1 Brentford at the weekend.

Goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka sealed what could prove to be an important victory in the race for a top four place.

With Manchester United beating Leeds United 4-2 to move into fourth place and Wolves beating Leicester to ease into seventh spot, the race is on for fourth place. While it may be too close too call if you're looking to lay the house on Arsenal ending the season qualifying for the Champions League, in fact if you fancy a flutter you'd defintely have a better chance by having a punt with best online casino  if you're looking to have a bet. In the meantime, here's boss Arteta on the importance of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe...

Yes but thank you to the supporters again for the atmosphere they created. I understand they love that song and everybody loves that song because they are players that have been raised in our system and I'm really happy that we have players that come and take the responsibility and they manage to win games for us, which is really impressive at that age.

on if he was concerned before the breakthrough...

I think we played really well and we created so many chances and shots and attempts on goal in the first half but we didn't score the goal and in the Premier League you have to put those chances away if you want to win but I think we came back in the second half again and were really convincing and scored the goal and then it was a matter of scoring the second goal to kill the game. Once we had done that I think it was a shame that we conceded the goal but overall we should be happy with the result and the performance.

on if top four is in our hands now...

It's a long way to go but we are a little bit closer today because we have won our game and that's what we have to do. You can see with the results how tough it to win in this league. We have to go on Thursday again. We need to prepare really well because against Wolves it's going to be a difficult match and we'll need to perform well to win and play better and better and better. That's the aim.

on our form since Christmas...

We want to win every game as I said before and obviously, that's in the back of something and we want to try to get a big purpose to the season and that is certainly one of them but we know that we cannot look too far ahead. Things change very very quickly, it's really difficult to win matches in this league and we have to focus on tomorrow. Train tomorrow, train well, review the match and go again and prepare well against Wolves.
