Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, might miss their final Premier League matchup with Everton. The Gunners and Manchester City are facing off for the championship, and it looks like it will come down to the very last day. Despite having played one more game than its championship rivals, Arsenal leads second-place City by one point and is hoping that their opponents will make a mistake in their next three games.

If the Gunners are to win their final two games and put further pressure on City—who still has to play Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham—having Arteta on the sidelines is essential. This Sunday, Arsenal plays Everton at the Emirates before traveling to Manchester United. Nevertheless, depending on how he performs in their second-to-last match at United, Arteta might be out of the lineup for Arsenal’s match against Everton on the last day. The Spaniard has already received five yellow cards; should he receive any more, he will be suspended for one game.

Due to suspension, Arteta has already missed one game; in December, he was unable to play in the 1-0 loss against Aston Villa. With five bookings this season, Arteta has the poorest disciplinary record of any manager in the Premier League. Managers receive punishment for every three yellow cards they receive.

He received a warning for the two Chelsea games as well as Fulham, Luton, and Brighton. Arteta is known for his emotional responses on the touchline, but this weekend when they travel to United, which is much awaited, he will need to exercise caution to avoid receiving another yellow card. On Saturday, Arsenal defeated Bournemouth 3-0 to win the league for the fourth time in a row. Just before halftime, Bukayo Saka gave the Gunners the lead. Arteta’s team then maintained their strong play in the second half with goals from Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard.

Speaking after the victory, Arteta said: “We started the game with probably the best first half we’ve played all season. I think we were unbelievable.

“We were suρer composed on the ball, really аggressive without the ball, we generated so many chances, we could have scored three, four or five easily. But we didn’t, we scored one and then credit to Bournemouth as well, they changed a few things, they created some issues for us and the game became a little bit more open.

“That was something we wаnted to avoid, but within that game as well we resolved certain situations in the right way and we were very efficient in front of goal to score the goals, and maintain another clean sheet.”
