Arsenal are continuing to prove the doubters wrong as with each passing game, they inch closer to winning the Premier League title. That's still some 12 fixtures away at this stage though, with the need for some calm heads, conviction and a little bit of luck to go in their favour.
The Gunners sit five points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City, though the latter have one key advantage at this stage of the campaign. That is the fact they have experience in closing out a title challenge, having repeatedly won it by fine margins in recent years.
That was something former Manchester United defender Gary Neville made a point of when predicting the winners, saying on The Overlap: "That’s been my stance from day one [Man City winning the league] with them [Arsenal] not being there before. Manchester City will win this league because when it gets to that last 10 games, you do start to panic a bit.
