Arsenal have a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table heading into the final month of the season.
Furthermore, they've gone ten games unbeaten in the league - winning seven of them - yet those positives are outweighed by three consecutive draws against Liverpool, West Ham United and Southampton at perhaps the worst possible time and the fixture list doesn't get easier.
Under normal circumstances, a 2-2 draw away at Anfield - despite being 2-0 up - is a great result but when factoring in that the Gunners went on to drop points in the same manner at the London Stadium a week later, these were the first signs of them wilting under the pressure of a title race.
