Mikel Arteta says Arsenal must win all of their remaining five games to stand a chance of winning the Premier League title, but even that might not be enough if Manchester City win their games in hand.
City's dominant win over Arsenal on Wednesday moved them to within two points of the leaders, giving them control of their destiny as Pep Guardiola asserted after the game. City have seven games left to overtake Arsenal, who only have five games.
Arteta vowed that everything can change in those five fixtures, but he looked a defeated man at the Etihad, unable to offer an explanation as to why Arsenal were so far behind City in their biggest game of the season. The Blues will keep taking a game at a time as they also fight on two other fronts, however they are 1/20 favourites to win the title after their decisive win.
