Arsenal will not be "frustrated," according to Bukayo Saka, in their pursuit of Manchester City, a team that consistently wins.
This year, the Gunners have won 14 of their 16 Premier League games, lost none, and scored 51 goals while only giving up eight.
However, with Pep Guardiola's City a point behind and one game in hand in second place going into their final games of the season, the title isn’t sure yet.

Saka on Premier League title
Saka is staying optimistic despite Arsenal's hopes for a miraculous slip-up from Pep's four-time Premier League winners.
Saka said as reported by the Sun, “You can view it in two ways – as frustrating or as a beautiful challenge. Everybody knows they are one of the best teams in the world.
“They have been on top for the past five years, challenging for everything, so far to be up there competing with them is good.
“We are not going to get frustrated. We see it as a challenge. We want to fight until the end and push them the whole way.
“They have set the standard and it’s up to the rest of us to try to be better than them. We just focus on ourselves. That’s all we can do.”
Arteta's team will still be haunted by the agonising collapse from the previous year, in which they let up an eight-point lead over City and finished the season five points off the top.
Saka continued, “The end of last season has made us stronger this year, made us hungrier to try and go a step further. The pain has brought us together.
“We are all so hungry but also in future years, we want to win. We are young and we have got many more years ahead of us and we’ll have lots of experiences together.”
Saka has played more than 50 games for club and country for the fourth straight season, and with 225 appearances to date, he leads the Arsenal squad in appearances made.
