"If there were any doubts in the last few weeks, there can surely be no more any longer Arsenal are wobbling and quite possibly throwing away this title. If Manchester City win their game in hand then Arsenal's lead at the top of the table will be just two points. Given that Pep Guardiola's side have themselves had a few setbacks over the winter period, a few better results could easily have seen the Gunners go nine points clear, but that opportunity has been wasted."
"With hindsight, however, Arsenal's summer signings look woefully inadequate, with Gyokeres in particular simply looking out of his depth at this level despite tearing it up in Portugal, while Eze, for all the quality he's shown in the Premier League throughout his career, hasn't adjusted to the new demands he faces in Mikel Arteta's side. Noni Madueke is another questionable purchase considering the other similar players who have moved either in the summer or in January, with Bryan Mbeumo or Antoine Semenyo clearly superior to both Madueke and Eze, whilst costing similar prices."
Arsenal's title charge is wobbling, with a potential lead reduced to just two points if Manchester City win a game in hand. City endured setbacks over winter, so Arsenal missed an opportunity to open a larger gap. Arsenal have won only two of their last seven Premier League matches, including a 2-2 draw after leading 2-0 against bottom club Wolves. Summer recruitment failed to provide the expected impact: Viktor Gyokeres looks out of his depth, Eberechi Eze has struggled to adapt to Arteta's demands, and Noni Madueke appears inferior to comparable alternatives.
