Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is searching for a 'vitamin' to ease mounting tension ahead of Sunday's crucial match against Manchester City. The Gunners sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League but have won just one of their past five matches across all competitions, raising concerns among supporters about their ability to maintain their title challenge.

Arteta has acknowledged the nervy atmosphere surrounding the club, particularly after home defeats where fans have expressed frustration. The manager's tactical approach focuses on controlled possession and set-piece excellence, with Nicolas Jover's specialized coaching earning recognition across Europe. However, this methodical style has sometimes led to questions about Arsenal's ability to break down stubborn defenses when their usual patterns are disrupted.

Former striker Chris Sutton believes this represents a 'make or break' moment for Arteta, suggesting his future could depend on delivering either the Premier League title or Champions League success this season. With Manchester City potentially moving to the top of the table with a victory, the pressure is mounting on Arsenal to rediscover their early-season form and prove they can handle the psychological demands of a title race.
