Hope. That's all Arsenal have right now. To be crowned Premier League champions they require three straight wins and for Manchester City to stumble at least twice.
To their credit, the Gunners are showing signs of taking full advantage should the latter scenario does occur. Following a run of four games without a win - including 2-2 draws against Liverpool and West Ham United despite leading 2-0 in both - they've responded by beating Chelsea and Newcastle United.
Victory at St James' Park ensured Mikel Arteta's side remain within touching distance of Man City, albeit having played a game more, and it was a performance that the Spaniard felt sent a message to the league leaders that they are not giving up hope of winning the title.
