With eight games left, the Gunners are leading Manchester City by one point and Liverpool by just two in an exciting three-way contest for the championship.
Arsenal, who had led for the majority of the previous season until faltering at the end, has had an incredible run of success, winning nine of their last 10 league games.
Arteta is determined to generate a similar fear effect in their opponents, having faced Arsene Wenger’s powerful side as a player during Everton’s 7-0 defeat at Highbury in May 2005.
Arteta thought about the Invincibles’ commanding presence and said he wanted to create a similar environment. “I’ve stood in that tunnel, facing a different shirt, and felt the power of the Invincibles,” he said.
“It was clear that this evening would be a struggle. We want to reproduce that vibe.”
Ahead of their next match against Brighton, Arteta expressed hope over the contribution of star player Bukayo Saka, even if there are questions about his condition due to a recent muscle injury.
