Mikel Arteta acknowledges Arsenal are in a "good position" to finish in the Premier League's top four but says the Gunners still have a "lot to fight for" after beating Leicester City 2-0.

Goals from Thomas Partey and Alexandre Lacazette, the latter coming from the penalty spot after Caglar Soyuncu's handball, handed the Gunners a fifth successive Premier League win for the first time since May 2021.

Having lost the opening home game of the Premier League season to Chelsea in August, Arteta's team have lost just one of their last 13 home league games this term (10 wins and two draws), with only Manchester City beating them at the Emirates Stadium during this run.

The victory also moved Arsenal back into fourth in the Premier League, and they hold three games in hand over fifth-placed Manchester United, who trail them by one point.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the win, Arteta praised the attacking performance of his side but warned his side have little time to rest on their laurels.

"Without putting in a performance we don't beat Leicester," the 39-year-old said. "They are a good side and made it tough for us. It was a big win for us.

"I was pleased with the understanding of what we had to do. 

"When they started to overload in certain areas, we understood how we had to resolve that. [I was] also pleased with the movement and link-up between the players, [which] was terrific.

"The reality in football is when you start to predict what can happen no one would get it right. The only thing we can control is our performance.

"We are in a good position but there is still a lot to fight for. Next up is Liverpool. We know how tough it will be but we will try to win it."
