Arsenal have more 'devil' about them this season and look 'smarter' in their title bid, Mail Sport's Football Editor Ian Ladyman believes.

Mikel Arteta's side handled the daunting trip to title rivals Liverpool and came away with a creditable draw.

Arsenal fell away down the stretch in their title battle against Manchester City last season, but Ladyman, speaking on the latest It's All Kicking Off, feels fans are now seeing Arsenal 2.0 after the disappointment of 2022-23.

'I see a greater mental strength about Arsenal this season,' Ladyman said.
