Arsenal boss Arteta on chasing the Double: I'm really excited

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he and his players are full of energy at this stage of the season.

The Gunners meet Luton tomorrow as they chase a Premier League and Champions League Double.

Arteta said, "I am really excited but we have these discussions all the time. It won't change from now until the end but nine games is a lot.

"We are embracing the moment and making sure we prepare for each game.

"This is where we want to be and we want to take this opportunity and make this happen. We work everyday with that enthusiasm and passion. I see the team really flowing and being excited to play these games. That has to be the vision and focus.

"I am full of energy and it is the most incredible part of the season. I wasn't in this position when I was a player so this is different."

On if they need to win their remaining games to lift the Premier League title, Arteta added: "I don't know, but it's going to have to be really close to that.

"You can see the consistency from the other teams and historically what is needed points wise. It is going to be close to needing that."
