With a first league title in 22 years in sight, Arsenal begin the final leg at home against Chelsea Sunday, knowing that their fate remains in their hands after last weekend’s emphatic victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
Saliba said: “It’s good, but we know it’s not over. We have 10 games left.
“We know it’s in our hands: if we do well, if we win the next 10 games, we will win this championship, but we know it’s not easy.
“There is always pressure because it is the best league in the world but we will give everything and we will accept the pressure.”
