Mikel Arteta Sets Ambitious 114-Point Target for Arsenal to Topple Manchester City
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has set an extraordinary target of 114 points for the 2024-25 Premier League season, aiming to dethrone reigning champions Manchester City and achieve an invincible season.
What Happened? Mikel Arteta is determined to elevate Arsenal’s performance and challenge Manchester City’s dominance in the Premier League. After narrowly missing out on the title in the 2023-24 season, Arteta has set a bold goal for the Gunners: to achieve 114 points, an unprecedented total that would surpass the current record and potentially lead to an invincible season.
What Arteta Said Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s friendly against Manchester United, Arteta emphasized the need for continuous improvement across all levels. He stated, “The message is clear – we need more from everybody, including myself. I need to raise the standards, I need to bring something I haven’t brought yet. The more we do that, the better the chance we have to win the Premier League.”
When asked about the specific target to surpass Manchester City, Arteta ambitiously claimed, “114 points! If we do that, we win the league for sure. This is the objective. Earn the right to win it and have the biggest probability over the opponent.”
The Bigger Picture Arteta’s ambitious target would not only secure Arsenal’s first Premier League title since the 2003-04 invincible season but also set a new standard in English football. Achieving 114 points would mean winning all 38 league games, a feat never accomplished in the Premier League era.
Arsenal’s pursuit of this record-breaking season comes after a strong campaign where they finished second to Manchester City. The Gunners are looking to build on that momentum and end City’s streak of titles.
What Next for Arsenal? Arsenal has begun their pre-season tour in the United States, where they will face Manchester United in Los Angeles. This match will be a crucial test for Arteta’s squad as they prepare for the upcoming season. Following the United game, Arsenal will play Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on July 31, 2024.
