Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has issued a defiant rallying call, urging his squad to conquer a recurring historical pattern.

Key Points:

  • The club has a history of leading at the turn of the year but failing to win the title, most recently in 2023.
  • Arteta declared, "Let's break it," highlighting the squad's daily energy and desire to end the drought.
  • The team is also competing strongly in the Champions League, Carabao Cup, and FA Cup.
  • A challenging January fixture list includes matches against Liverpool and a semi-final with Chelsea.
  • Injuries have tested the squad, but defensive solidity and depth have maintained their form.
  • The ultimate goal is a first Premier League title since the iconic "Invincibles" season of 2004.
With history weighing heavily, Arteta’s challenge is to forge a new legacy, transforming past fragility into present resilience for the decisive months ahead.
