Despite four games without a win, Arsenal are still top of the Premier League table. Manchester City having two games in hand does mean they hold the advantage, but the Gunners are still firmly in a title race with just a month to go of the season.
Understandably, there is concern creeping out of the Arsenal fanbase as a 4-1 defeat against Man City saw Pep Guardiola's team snatch back control. But, upon reflection, not many had even predicted Arsenal to secure a top-four spot, yet their place in next season's Champions League has already been secured with five games still to play.
Positivity is not exactly high in north London currently, but this young and hungry team had absolutely no right to be challenging for the league title against the Premier League's juggernaut. Even before City added Erling Haaland to their ranks, they looked domestically unbeatable, but they have been pushed to their absolute limit by Mikel Arteta and his players.
