Arsenal's last three results have not gone to plan and next up is Manchester City away from home.
It was only at the beginning of the month that the Gunners were eight points clear of Pep Guardiola's side - albeit having played one game more - and required eight wins from their final 10 fixtures, in the ideal scenario, to be crowned Premier League champions for the first time since the 2003/04 campaign.
However, not seeing out 2-0 leads against Liverpool and West Ham United as well as a 3-3 draw against bottom-of-the-table Southampton on Friday night means Arsenal head to the Etihad Stadium with a five-point advantage instead of 11 and, perhaps crucially, have now played two games extra than City.
