Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has spoken about his side's chances of winning this season's Premier League title.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture against West Ham United, Arteta said: "You need luck in the title race. That luck and what you think is going to happen. Sometimes it’s about inches and they have to go your way."
When asked about statistical models favouring Manchester City to lift the trophy, the Spaniard added: "When you asked them at the start of the season, it was like this. So nothing has changed."

The Gunners currently sit six points clear of City in second, although Pep Guardiola and Co have a game in hand on their title rivals and will also welcome the north Londoners to the Etihad Stadium in a potential title decider later this month. Arteta's comments come after FiveThirtyEight's Premier League table supercomputer gave the Citizens a 60% chance of winning the title, with Arsenal awarded just 40% despite sitting top of the pile.
Since losing 3-1 to City at the Emirates Stadium back in February, the Gunners are unbeaten in the league, winning seven on the bounce before Sunday's 2-2 draw away to Liverpool.
