Arsenal's Mikel Arteta hailed his side's 2-1 comeback win against north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday as proof his side remains firmly in the Premier League title race, although he rued their failure to kill the game off despite ample opportunity.

Mikel Arteta has said Arsenal "passed a test of attitude" after overcoming a difficult week to beat north London rivals Tottenham 2-1 at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

Arsenal could be missing up to six players when they face Aston Villa. Unai Emery’s side face the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday (5:30pm). And Mikel Arteta looks set to be without several senior players for the match.
