‘I’m very, very angry’ – Mikel Arteta says Arsenal title hopes ‘not in our hands’
The defeat was Arsenal’s first game in 16 Premier League games, but Liverpool’s unbeaten run with 22 games, with Saturday’s losses likely irreparable to the Gunners’ title.
Using its projection algorithm, data analyst Opta now hopes Liverpool will get the highest with 86 points, eight away from Arteta’s team.
Arsenal’s chances of winning the league fell from 15.13% to 8.14%, while Liverpool’s chances increased from 84.79% to 91.76%.
Opta ended up winning the championship, with no other chance of more than 1%.

Arsenal currently has Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus due to injuries, but Arteta insists that the Gunners’ personnel dilemma should not be attributed to Saturday’s failure.
“I totally refused,” he said. “I’m talking about the standards that include the players I’m participating in today and the teams we’re participating in today.
“We have to look in the mirror (because) we can do better, will, desires, the way we run and the way we want to (become a champion).
“You have to deliver and you have to have quality to break down a very good team. We have to play better with better quality.”
