Antonio Conte has turned up the heat on Arsenal, describing them as title favourites and warning them they face mounting pressure
“When you are at the top of the league the perception of your opponents changes totally,” Conte said. “You are in that moment the best team in the league. For this reason, everybody wants to beat you. For sure, Arsenal has to face this situation [as] favourites to win the league. They have to show they are good to face this type of situation.
The capacity of Mikel Arteta’s side to get players around the referee at contentious moments has been thrown into sharper focus by the FA charges, even though they are far from the only team to engage in this kind of gamesmanship. Conte was asked whether he was worried about them trying to pressure the referee for the derby, Craig Pawson.Photograph: Marc Atkins/Getty Images
