I don't think I’m alone in beginning to think Arsenal’s form this season is uncannily echoing Leicester ’s crazy 2016 title winning campaign.
I’m not comparing the two teams or their histories, but I am comparing the way that both of them were constantly, incessantly written off, even this late in the season. In that sense, Arsenal really are mimicking that miraculous Claudio Ranieri side.
They got off to a flyer and people said it wouldn’t last. They consolidated in December and were top at Christmas, but then had a little wobble where they dropped behind the favourites, but then came back with a real show of grit and character.
