Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says his players should "be part of a different club" if they cannot deal with the "noise" as his team bid to end their 22-year wait for a league title.
The Gunners are two points clear at the top of the league as they try to win their first title since Arsene Wenger's 'Invincibles' did in 2003-04.
But they have just two wins from their last seven Premier League games and Manchester City closed the gap from five to two points before Arsenal travel to 16th-placed Tottenham on Sunday (16:30 GMT).
