Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes his players will rise to the occasion on Sunday.

The Gunners are taking on Everton in the last Premier League game of the season.

If they win and Manchester City either lose or draw against West Ham United, Arsenal would win the Premier League.

On the game, Arteta stated: The only thing that we discussed is that we have to give ourselves the opportunity to live a beautiful day on Sunday where the dream is still alive and is possible. It's football and once we're there we have to live the moment.

The moment is to play like every single week, understanding that for the dream to happen we have to win. That's very certain. Then we have to hope for West Ham to achieve that dream. That part is on us and it's the only thing we can focus on."

On the optimism within the squad, he added: I do. Around the building. Jesus, we are in the last day of the season playing for the Premier League.

The Premier League trophy hasn't been at the Emirates yet and it was built almost 20 years ago. That's a long, long time. We have to be very optimistic. The trophy is going to be there and it's possible we have to do our duties and then we wait and see what happens."
