What did Arteta say about Arsenal's prospect of winning the quadruple this season?

At the press conference before the match against Wolves in the 16th round of the 2025/26 Premier League, coach Mikel Arteta openly shared his thoughts when asked about Arsenal's chance of achieving a quadruple this season.

Mikel Arteta is currently experiencing the most successful period since taking charge at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal not only occupy the top spot on the league table in the 2025/26 Premier League season, but they also lead their group in the UEFA Champions League, securing a strong advantage in the race to qualify for the next stage. In the two domestic cup competitions, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, the Gunners remain unbeaten and still have every chance to progress deep, even aiming for the titles.

This impressive run of form across all competitions has prompted the British and European media to start discussing the possibility of Arsenal making history by winning the quadruple this season. Notably, Opta's supercomputer has predicted that the North London club is the top favorite to win the Premier League, ahead of many strong rivals.

However, unlike the excitement among fans, coach Mikel Arteta remains level-headed as usual. At the press conference before the 16th round Premier League game against Wolves, the Spanish tactician was very cautious when asked about the optimistic predictions from Opta’s supercomputer and Arsenal's chances of dominating all competitions.

Arteta emphasized: “The only thing we can do is increase our chances of winning the next match by focusing on what we do best and preparing as thoroughly as possible. In reality, it's just about securing three points in tomorrow's game, and with the ‘supercomputer’ in my head, that’s enough for me.”. For Arteta, all focus must be on each individual match rather than getting distracted by probabilities or media-given titles to Arsenal.

Moreover, the 43-year-old coach stresses the importance of preventing complacency in the dressing room, especially as Arsenal charge towards the finish line with strong form. Arteta shared: “It’s simply about showing the players what kind of team they are. I showed them the match against Aston Villa a few weeks ago to remind them that they should have reacted to demonstrate their character, and that’s extremely dangerous. Especially in this league, where every team has a certain quality. So from our side, that will not happen.” This viewpoint shows Arteta’s deep understanding of the Premier League’s harshness, where any slip-up can be costly regardless of the opponent’s position in the standings.

When asked if Arsenal have received the recognition they deserve, Arteta once again avoided delving deeply into the matter. He candidly stated:

“I don’t know, that’s not for me to judge. We are currently in a very good position in all competitions we have participated in so far, and that is what we need to maintain until the end. Recognition should come at the end of the season, when we measure what we have achieved. But to get there, you must meet your goals every day. So far, I think we are in a very strong position.”

Next up for Arsenal is an away trip to Wolves in the 16th round of the 2025/26 Premier League. In theory, this is an ideal chance for the Gunners to secure all three points, as Wolves sit deep at the bottom with only 2 points after 15 rounds, making them the worst-performing team in the league. Nevertheless, with Arteta’s cautious approach, Arsenal will certainly not allow themselves to be complacent. In a season where ambition goes hand in hand with pressure, every small victory is the foundation for turning big dreams into reality.
