Arteta's side suffered an agonising end to last season as City pipped them to the trophy by just two points on the final day.
Arsenal lost only one of their last 18 league games but still couldn't hold off City's relentless charge to an unprecedented fourth successive Premier League crown.
That painful near-miss came 12 months after the Gunners allowed City to snatch the 2022/23 title from their grasp after squandering an eight-point lead.
Rather than dull his appetite for success, those blows inspired Arteta to take his already obsessive attention to detail to new heights as he chases Arsenal's first league title in 21 years.
"I don't want to get over it," he said. "We need that pain and that hunger to achieve what we want to achieve because the competition is unbelievable."
