Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Mikel Arteta has urged leaders Arsenal to carry on from where they left off by winning their first Premier League title since 2004 when English football’s top-flight resumes after the World Cup break.<\/p>\n

The Gunners were in superb form, with 12 wins from 14 matches, when the league was paused in unprecedented fashion to allow for the first World Cup held in a northern hemisphere winter to take place in Qatar.<\/p>\n

All season long, fans and pundits have been debating whether the break will be a help or a hindrance to clubs’ ambitions, with Arsenal now without Gabriel Jesus after he was sent home early from the World Cup with a knee problem sustained in Brazil’s shock defeat by Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Arteta, however, was in buoyant mood ahead of his side’s return to Premier League action against London rivals West Ham at the Emirates on Monday.<\/p>\n

“You know, I want the team to play a certain way, and the more consistent we are on that the more we are going to win,” he told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

“There is excitement, and we should be excited and we should be embracing the opportunity that we have ahead of us.”<\/p>\n

Arsenal are currently five points clear of reigning champions Manchester City.<\/p>\n

City will be the last of the title contenders in action during the Boxing Day holiday round of fixtures when they travel to strugglers Leeds on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Saudi-backed Newcastle, riding high in third place, are away to Leicester on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Magpies last won a major domestic trophy in 1955 and such is the northeast club’s desire to end that drought, Howe used all five of his players who had been in Qatar during a hard-fought 1-0 win over Premier League rivals Bournemouth that secured a place in the last eight of the League Cup.<\/p>\n

Champions League qualification also remains a real possibility, with Tottenham and Manchester United, fourth and fifth respectively, snapping at Newcastle’s heels.<\/p>\n

‘World class’ Kane <\/b><\/p>\n

United, given their status, may be under most pressure to achieve a top-four finish, although manager Erik ten Hag said: “I think also for the manager of Chelsea (Graham Potter), of Newcastle (Eddie Howe), all those clubs invest a lot in their squad. So for every manager it’s a big pressure to get into the Champions League, that’s clear.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham travel to Brentford with manager Antonio Conte confident Harry Kane will have put his World Cup heartache behind him.<\/p>\n

Kane’s missed penalty late on against Spurs team-mate Hugo Lloris was a key moment in England’s 2-1 quarter-final loss to France.<\/p>\n

“No, honestly (I am not worried) because we’re talking about a world class striker,” Conte said.<\/p>\n

Liverpool will try to kickstart their season again away to Aston Villa on Monday.<\/p>\n

Bottom of the table Wolves begin their quest for top-flight survival under new manager Julen Lopetegui when the former Spain and Real Madrid coach, who oversaw a midweek League Cup win over Gillingham, makes his Premier League debut away to Everton.<\/p>\n

“For me, the only aim in front is the next match,” said Lopetegui, who replaced the sacked Bruno Lage.<\/p>\n

Fulham’s match against Crystal Palace on Monday will be their first game since the death of club great and England 1966 World Cup-winner George Cohen at the age of 83.<\/p>\n

Premier League chiefs announced there will be a moment’s applause before all top-flight matches between Boxing Day and December 28 in honour of Cohen, with all players and officials wearing black armbands as a mark of respect.<\/p>\n

Fixtures (1500 GMT unless stated)<\/p>\n

Monday: Arsenal v West Ham (2000 GMT), Aston Villa v Liverpool (1730 GMT), Brentford v Tottenham (1230 GMT), Crystal Palace v Fulham, Everton v Wolves, Leicester v Newcastle, Southampton v Brighton<\/p>\n
