Gary Lineker makes Arsenal 'bottle job' point after more dropped points in title race

Gary Lineker claims that Arsenal would not ‘bottle’ the Premier League title even if they get pipped by Manchester City over the final weeks of the season.

The Gunners have seen their lead over the reigning champions cut to just four points after consecutive matches in which they’ve let a two-nil lead slip to Liverpool and West Ham. That has handed the title advantage to Pep Guardiola ’s side who will be in prime position should they win their game in-hand and their key title showdown with the North London side next week.

Given that Arsenal have been leading the standings for every single matchday but three, there have been claims that the Gunners would be bottling the title race should they not claim the trophy at the end of next month. Match of the Day host Lineker has responded to those suggestions though and does not agree.
