When Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 4-1 last month and headed into the international break eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, the target to be crowned champions became clear.
25 points in addition to a significant swing in the goal difference column in the Gunners' favour against a relentless Manchester City side aiming to retain their crown and English football's biggest prize returns to the red half of north London for the first time in almost two decades.
In a dream scenario for Arsenal that worked out to be eight wins and a draw from the final 10 Premier League fixtures. Fast forward a few weeks and whilst Mikel Arteta's side have chipped away at the aforementioned points target, their lead at the summit has been halved.
