Arteta 'confident' Arsenal will bounce back in the Premier League

Arsenal continue to struggle in the Premier League but Mikel Arteta is confident his side have all it takes to turn things around.

Mikel Arteta is fully convinced Arsenal can bounce back from a dreadful run in the Premier League, starting off against Burnley on Sunday.

The Gunners have won just two of their last seven Premier League matches, losing three of their last four.

The most recent defeat for Arsenal came at the hands of Tottenham – a loss that condemned Arteta to his second derby loss as Arsenal manager.

However, it’s been a different story for the North London side on the continental front.

Arsenal triumphed in all of their group matches and have won six consecutive major European games. As it stands, they are the only side in Europe with a 100% record in the Champions League or Europa League.

Only one team has a 100% record in UEFA club competitions this season.

Burnley visit Emirates Stadium on Sunday, but Arsenal at least head into that clash on the back of a 4-2 Europa League triumph over Dundalk. Arteta believes his side can now bounce back and make a response in the Premier League.

“I have zero doubts about how the boys are going to respond, how hard we’re going to try and how involved everybody is going to be in trying to support the team,” said Arteta to the club’s website.

“We have to prove it and get the three points.”

With the Europa League out of the way for a while, Arteta knows where the Gunners must direct their focus.

“Now we have to forget about the Europa League until February and focus on the Premier League, EFL Cup, and FA Cup when it starts,” he added.

“We have a larger squad, we have players back from injury, so we will have the opportunity to pick who is better in the moment.

“It gives us more options in the Premier League to focus and get the results we need. We need to start winning football matches immediately. We cannot sustain the results we’ve had in the last six or eight weeks, that has to start on Sunday.”
