Oleksandr Zinchenko argues that a 0-0 draw with Man City has given the Arsenal squad confidence they did not have last season that they can fight for the Premier League title.
“Yeah, I won’t lie to you, 100 per cent, because it shows that we are ready to fight for it and we are ready to compete with the best teams in the world,” said Zinchenko.
“It’s not easy to play against City away and also Liverpool away and the other teams as well — I don’t want to be disrespectful to the others. It shows that Arsenal are ready to fight for it.”
Speaking after the Luton Town win, Zinchenko added: "Three points was so important for us, because we know that we are fighting for something big this season.
"This year, all of us have got more experience, we’ve played with each other much, much more and I think we’re improving.
"We already have this experience from last season, where we were quite far from the others and then, in the end, we didn’t do what we wanted. This experience we need to take with us and then let’s see what is going to happen."
It was around that point last season when the wheels came off in Arsenal's title race against Man City. The challenge now is to prove that the team has made a step further.
Arsenal are top of the table, one point above Liverpool and Man City, although Jurgen Klopp's team have a game in hand.
