Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says that his team have "gone a step backwards" in the Premier League this season.
After missing out on the title to Manchester City by two points last season, the Gunners are currently 15 points behind champions Liverpool, who they face at Anfield on Sunday (16:30 BST).
Having reached 84 points in 2022-23 and 89 points in 2023-24, Arsenal will end this campaign with a maximum of 76 points.
"In the Premier League we've gone a step backwards," Arteta said.
"With the points that we have created it is clear that we have not done as good as last season, and that's obvious.
