"A 2-2 draw at bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers was, in the context of the 2025-26 title race, fairly disastrous. After dropping points in their previous league outing, a 1-1 draw at Brentford, Mikel Arteta's side fumbled a two-goal lead at Molineux, thereby failing to extend their lead at the top over Manchester City to seven points and keep their fate in their own hands."
"Put simply, if City manage to win all of their remaining 12 games, including a home fixture against Arsenal in April, they will finish top. The same can be said for Arsenal, should they rally to win their remaining 11 games, including that crucial trip to the Etihad, but they have left themselves with no margin for error."
Arsenal surrendered a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw at Wolverhampton, following a prior 1-1 draw at Brentford, leaving form concerns. The result reduced Arsenal's lead at the top to five points, with Manchester City holding a game in hand and able to overtake if they win all remaining fixtures. Arsenal have won only two of their last seven league matches despite leading since September, leaving no margin for error. Historical trends show City have finished stronger than Arsenal since 2021-22, meaning Arsenal must improve to prevent prolonging their title drought.
