Arsenal are in danger of throwing away the Premier League title as pressure mounts on Mikel Arteta ahead of a crucial clash with Manchester City.
A shock defeat to Bournemouth has left the Gunners wobbling at the worst possible moment, with City now closing the gap and firmly in control of the title race momentum.
Pep Guardiola’s side are renowned for their dominance in April, boasting an incredible record in the run-in, while Arsenal continue to struggle during this decisive month.
The contrast has become a recurring theme in recent seasons, with Arteta’s men repeatedly faltering under pressure, reports The Standard.
With City just six points behind and holding a game in hand, the title race could swing dramatically in the coming days.

Injuries, fatigue and tactical issues have all contributed to their recent slump, with key players struggling to maintain form and fitness.
The team also appears short on confidence, particularly when building from the back and breaking down organised defences.
Arteta now faces the biggest week of his managerial career, with a trip to the Etihad Stadium set to define Arsenal’s season.
Victory would restore belief and control, but anything less could confirm another painful collapse in their pursuit of Premier League glory.
