Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed claims his team are bottling the Premier League title race.

The Gunners have dropped four points in the last two games, twice blowing 2-0 leads to draw 2-2.

Arteta said: "What we can say is that our players have full faith in what they do. We know that what is at stake is incredibly beautiful. The best way to do it is continue to do what we want to do every single day. Tomorrow play really well, play with our crowd, create an incredible atmosphere and win that game.

"Twists and turns are part of everything that you do, especially in football. It's not always going to be a linear progression. You have to know that and you have to be prepared for that. The way the team reacted was incredibly positive and we want to see that tomorrow night when we get onto that field.

"Friday night - it has to be electric. I want that crowd playing every single ball with our team and not being different from what we've experienced. A full capacity energy-wise and everybody very positive, pushing the team."
