Mikel Arteta have been leaning on his managerial role at the Emirates Stadium. He's given every he has and have become one the solid pillars in the club. Who doesn't think Mikel Arteta deserves his flowers? I think everything about Arsenal is just time and it's not yet time for Gunners to start reaping the good things they've labored hard for.
Secondly, the English Premier League is not some random easy League where one can easily win trophies without having to show workings and evidence. We know alot have happen in this EPL and how consistent most of these clubs have been without lifting a trophy. Time will tell.
Arteta has been the bridesmaid for four years, and wants to be the bride at all means this season. His team is capable, only if his strikers are tough enough to finish a season with lesser injuries, he'd be able to lift the trophy. Liverpool, however is doing everything in their power to finish first position in the league. The both sides - Arsenal and Liverpool would drag it again, from the look of things, then Chelsea could be a strong contendant too, the forthcoming games would determine.
