Mikel Arteta has challenged Arsenal to win the Premier League title on the pitch rather than rely on any fallout from the charges against rivals Manchester City.
A four-year Premier League investigation concluded on Monday with City accused of breaching Financial Fair Play rules over 100 times between 2009 and 2018.

City also allegedly failed to co-operate with the investigation and if found guilty, the English champions face a range of possible sanctions including a fine, points deduction or even expulsion from the league.
Pep Guardiola’s side deny the charges but should they be proved, City could face a fresh blow in their attempts to win a fifth league title in six seasons given they are already five points behind Arsenal having played a game more.
