The promising proof Arsenal's defence can deliver Premier League title after recent wobble

Arsenal made it two wins in two on Saturday afternoon with a 1-0 victory over Leicester City. Gabriel Martinelli's second-half strike handed the Gunners their 18th league win of the season to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points.

Mikel Arteta has seen the perfect response from his side after they went four games without a win. Last Wednesday's crucial defeat to Manchester City had seemed to turn the title race on its head but the north Londoners have reacted in the best possible way with two consecutive away wins.

The Gunners are currently on course to lift their first league title since 2004 and the feeling of optimism amongst the congested fan base continues to grow as the fixtures tick over. Following the win in the Midlands, Arsenal have only 14 league games remaining - eight of them taking place at the Emirates Stadium.
