Explained: Why Mikel Arteta could miss Arsenal's potential Premier League title decider against Everton

The Arsenal boss is walking on thin ice ahead of their club's potential title decider against Everton on May 19. The Gunners are currently leading the title race by a point, however, they have played a game more than Manchester City.

Arteta have already conceded five yellow cards in the Premier League this season and if he gets booked again in their penultimate game against Manchester United, he will be forced to watch the clash against the Toffees from the stands.

Earlier in the season, the 42-year-old had to sit out during the club's clash against Aston Villa after he received his third booking of the season in a win over Luton Town.

The North London giants are currently preparing for their upcoming Premier League clash at Old Trafford as they face old foes Manchester United on Sunday.
