Arsenal star draws Lionel Messi and Neymar comparisons as 'gamechanger' in Man City title battle

With 22 wins from 28 Premier League games this season, Arsenal have comfortably shown they can handle the big occasions. The Gunners have secured victories against Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and a double over north London rivals Tottenham for the first time since the 2013/14 campaign.

Mikel Arteta's men have been relentless on several occasions from the off, but they have also had to show considerable guile and determination to come from behind. Fulham, West Ham, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Bournemouth have all been in front against Arsenal at points this season but on all five occasions, the league leaders have come away with maximum points.

With ten league games left to play, and meetings against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City to come, it is highly unlikely Arsenal will calmly gallop to the title. There is an eight-point gap to Pep Guardiola's side, but their game in hand and eventual clash with the Gunners could see that drop down to two.
