Mikel Arteta could not hide a massive grin when asked about Arsenal\u2019s opportunity to go four points clear of Manchester City on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Arsenal boss thanked a reporter for a \u2018great question\u2019 as he faced the media ahead of Saturday\u2019s trip to Wolves.<\/p>\n

The Gunners currently sit second in the table, two points behind leaders City, with just six top-flight fixtures remaining.<\/p>\n

Arsenal may find themselves four points clear at the top should they beat Wolves and then pick up three points in the clash against Chelsea on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because City do not play their next Premier League game until Thursday \u2013 with Pep Guardiola\u2019s side in FA Cup action this weekend instead.<\/p>\n

\u2018Great question!\u2019 Arteta said with a huge smile when asked about Arsenal\u2019s chance to go four points clear. \u2018A very positive question\u2026 Keep going!\u2019<\/p>\n

Arteta was then quizzed about keeping the pressure on City and said: \u2018That will be the consequence of that.<\/p>\n

\u2018If we win, we will put pressure [on Man City] for sure. Because we would be at the top and then they would have to win. But we have to do our duty.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Arteta has aimed a subtle dig at negative reporting over his team following their back-to-back defeats to Aston Villa and Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

\u2018If I take a newspaper and show it to my son, after Brighton and after Bayern Munich about the same team, he would think it was three years [apart],\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
