Merson then questioned whether the manager genuinely trusts the duo, as he went on to say: "No, I don't think he does a lot of people. I think Arteta plays on sparks where he'll watch someone do something wrong and 'oh you're out of the team'. You've got to give them a chance, trust in them more, these players, I don't think he does that enough in my opinion." The question now is whether he can reproduce this repeatedly when it truly counts in the Premier League title race, with every point now vital to their challenge at the summit.
