Two points is a very insignificant advantage, there are still many games ahead and everything can change. Perhaps we are already accustomed to the fact that City are the leaders of the Premier League, and it is difficult for us to imagine that anyone can break their dominance. It seems Arteta tried to do this, but Arsenal is missing something every time.
For the English league, even a difference of 5 points is still considered very vulnerable or small for team not to be couped by another team, the English league competition is very competitive and even makes the competition for the championship very difficult to predict even when there are only a few games remaining, this season it looks like we Starting to see several teams starting to rise and try to enter the title race and even now there are 5 teams that are still candidates to win the English League.
Consistency is something that has been missing from Arsenal for a long time and that is why currently Arsenal is starting to return to factory settings and it is difficult to compete at the top of the standings, As an Arsenal fan, I only hope that Arteta can find a solution to Arsenal problems so far and be able to become a strong competitor to win the EPL trophy.
I hope that Arsenal will overtake City and we will find out who will take the title in the fight between Asenal and Liverpool, but I must admit that 5 points is a lot for teams that are fighting for the title. In the Premier League, the champion usually dominates very strongly and very often the percentage of points scored is more than 80%. It turns out that on average the title holder scores 2.4 points per game. To “catch up” a gap of 5 points, you need to play at the maximum (win) 5/0.6 = 8.3 games. It's not so easy in the Premier League.
