Birmingham City star Troy Deeney has leapt to the defence of Arsenal amid recent claims that they have 'bottled' the Premier League title.
The north London outfit have drawn each of their last three league fixtures, dropping points against Liverpool and West Ham United despite taking a 2-0 lead in both matches before a 3-3 stalemate against 20th-placed Southampton on Friday evening. Their recent run of form has seen their lead over second-placed Manchester City diminish, now just five points clear of their title rivals, who have the advantage of two games in hand still to play.
City host Mikel Arteta's side to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night for a potential title decider, with a number of pundits and fans alike arguing that Arsenal have started to 'bottle' it during the title run-in. However, former Watford striker Deeney has now dismissed these claims.
