米克爾·阿爾特塔表示，阿森納必須“拋硬幣”，因為他們在兩次令人痛苦的差點失利後，追趕英超領頭羊利物浦，力爭加冕英格蘭冠軍。

排名第二的槍手，過去兩個賽季都屈居曼城的亞軍，落後阿恩·斯洛特率領的利物浦六分

Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal must "flip that coin" as they aim to overtake Premier League leaders Liverpool and claim the English title for the first time in nearly two decades.

米克爾·阿爾特塔認為，阿森納必須“拋硬幣”，因為他們的目標是超越英超領頭羊利物浦，並在近二十年來首次奪得英格蘭冠軍。

The second-placed Gunners, who finished runners-up to Manchester City in each of the last two campaigns, trail Arne Slot's rampaging Liverpool by six points, although the leaders have played a game less having reached the halfway point of their league fixtures.

排名第二的槍手在過去兩個賽季中均輸給曼城獲得亞軍，他們落後阿恩·斯洛特率領的狂暴的利物浦隊六分，儘管領頭羊在聯賽進行到一半時少踢了一場比賽。

Stumbles in October and early November left Arsenal playing catch-up and Arteta on Friday pleaded for consistency from his men, who travel to mid-table Brighton on Saturday.

十月和十一月初的失誤讓阿森納追趕上來，阿爾特塔週五懇求他的球隊保持穩定，週六他們將前往中游布萊頓。

"We have to show the same level of consistency and a bit more, because the last year we have been the best team in the league, broken various records and still haven't won a major trophy, so something is missing," said the Spaniard.

「我們必須表現出同樣水平的穩定性，甚至更多，因為去年我們是聯盟中最好的球隊，打破了各種記錄，但仍然沒有贏得重要獎杯，所以缺少了一些東西，」球隊說道。

"It's going to be very thin, small details, you can pick up certain games and situations. But at the end, we're so close and we just have to flip that coin to the other side to make it happen.

「這將是非常薄弱的​​小細節，你可以選擇某些比賽和情況。但最終，我們已經很接近了，我們只需將硬幣翻轉到另一面即可實現這一目標。

"That's only going to happen if we do what we have to do and what we can control. The rest is out of our hands."

“只有當我們做我們必須做的事情和我們能夠控制的事情時，這種情況才會發生。其餘的事情就由我們掌控了。”

Arsenal are bidding to win their first Premier League title since 2004 but are set to be without Bukayo Saka until March after the England winger suffered a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace last month.

阿森納正在努力贏得自2004年以來的首個英超冠軍，但布卡約·薩卡在上個月對陣水晶宮的比賽中腿筋受傷後，他將缺席三月。

Arteta has been linked with a move for a winger in the January transfer window, although he insisted that his priority was to get the best out of his current squad with Saka expected to return before the end of the season.

阿爾特塔一直與在一月轉會窗口引進一名邊鋒聯繫在一起，儘管他堅稱自己的首要任務是充分發揮目前球隊的最佳水平，而薩卡預計將在賽季結束前回歸。

"There's not one player that's going to play nine games in a row in that position, it's impossible," said Arteta.

阿爾特塔表示：“沒有一個球員能夠在這個位置上連續踢九場比賽，這是不可能的。”

"We need more threat, we need more players fit and rotation in that unit. In relation to that, we will make decisions and as well, players' performances, that's simple."

“我們需要更多的威脅，我們需要更多的球員適應和輪換。與此相關，我們將做出決定，以及球員的表現，這很簡單。”

The Arsenal boss said he was unsure whether the club would strengthen in the January transfer window.

阿森納主帥表示，他不確定俱樂部是否會在一月轉會窗口補強。

"The focus is on the players that we have," he said. "When something is in the market that we can afford and believe is going to have a real impact on the team, we have to be open to that possibility.

「重點是我們擁有的球員，」他說。 「當市場上有某種東西是我們能夠負擔得起並且相信會對團隊產生真正影響時，我們必須對這種可能性持開放態度。

"We have the ability to change the squad in the windows, but at the moment the focus is on what we have."

“我們有能力在轉會窗口更換陣容，但目前重點是我們所擁有的。”
