Premier League: Arsenal desperate to hold off City charge in title showdown


Manchester City has begun to fill Arsenal’s rearview mirror and on Wednesday the reigning champions have the chance to begin their over-taking manoeuvre on the road to a fifth Premier League title in six years

A match that has loomed on the fixture list for months as a likely title decider now feels like a must-win game for Arsenal 

 Arsenal  has a five-point lead with six matches to go but Manchester City   has two extra games in hand.
While treble-chasing City has been churning out the wins, just as they usually do at the business end of a season, Arsenal’s young pretenders have been struck by vertigo.

They could have been going to City with a double-digit points lead but after surrendering 2-0 advantages to draw consecutive away games 2-2 at Liverpool   and West Ham were then held to a frenzied 3-3 draw by bottom club Southampton on Friday.

After that rip-roaring contest, in which Arsenal needed late goals from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka just to salvage a point, the players slumped to the turf and their fans filed away wondering if the dream of a first title since 2004 was fading.
