Arsenal are seeing history repeat itself after Mikel Arteta's bleak injury update

Reaching April with plenty on the line only to have momentum thwarted by two key injuries; Arsenal have been here before.

The Gunners currently sit top of the Premier League and boast a four-point advantage over nearest challengers Manchester City, but have played one game more than Pep Guardiola's men. For the first time in a long time this term, the title is in City's own hands - if they win the remainder of their games, including the visit of Arsenal next week, they will be champions.

For the bulk of the campaign, City had been relying on favours from other sides to try and put a dent in Arsenal's unlikely title charge. The last two games have seen their wishes granted, with Liverpool and West Ham both coming back from two goals down to draw with the Gunners.
