Arsenal this afternoon enter the final stretch of their Premier League title tilt, welcoming a depleted Leeds to the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s team boast an eight-point lead over Manchester City and continue to impress. It seems like every time the Gunners are dealt a setback, they have enough in the way of mental fortitude to recover almost instantly.
The commanding way in which Arsenal disposed of Fulham only days after a draining penalty shootout loss to Sporting in the Europa League said so much about Arteta’s side. Heading into the business end of the campaign, the title looks theirs to lose.
