Victory at the Amex Stadium will see the Gunners finish Saturday back on top of the table.
Mikel Arteta pointed to Arsenal’s growing maturity as a key factor in driving their Premier League title challenge ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Brighton.
At 20 years it is the club’s longest streak without winning the top flight since they were first champions in 1930-31.The last two decades have seen Arsenal consistently written off as being psychologically lacking when it comes to the title-race home straight. In 2013-14 they spent more days on top of the league than any other side yet still finished fourth, and last season they were again dominant for much of the campaign before being overtaken in April by Manchester City.“The team has matured,” he said. “They has found their own rhythm, their own leadership and a way of managing certain things.“They know we are always there to support. We guide them, you always have to be vigilant that what you expect to happen is happening.
“Trust has to be built every day. You can have an incident or a situation, you can lose it straight away. It takes so much to build it. That’s why you have to be on it every single day. And you need good people.”
