Arteta's side can close the gap on Liverpool to five points if they beat West Ham on Saturday before the leaders travel to Manchester City on Sunday. While City have endured a turbulent season and crashed out of the Champions League against Real Madrid on Wednesday, they still pose a threat to Liverpool, who have spluttered lately with two draws in their last three league matches.
The Gunners, who have a game in hand on Liverpool, will hope for a favour from Pep Guardiola's fourth-placed team, provided they take care of business themselves in the London derby at the Etihad Stadium.
Chasing Arsenal's first English title since 2004 after finishing as runners-up to City for the last two season, Arteta said: "I'm obsessed with doing every single thing that I can [to win]. Whatever is in our hands, let's do it.
