Arsenal face a huge remaining 12 games of their Premier League season to get themselves over the line and win the title for the first time in years. In those final few matches, there will be plenty of twists and turns ahead along with the usual drama that comes with such a high-stakes honour.
The Gunners have a two-point lead over their nearest rivals Manchester City, though they can extend that to five if they win their game in hand against Fulham on Sunday. While that may seem simple on paper, Mikel Arteta has asked for his players to tighten up defensively if they are to have any chance.
"Some positives because we showed a lot of resilience to get back in the game," The Spaniard said after a 2-2 draw with Sporting CP in the Europa League on Thursday. "But we need to defend our box much better and be better on Sunday [against Fulham]."
