The battle is really going to be a tough one because I believe Arsenal have not given up on the tittle race,and if they should keep that hope alive,they must go on to win the remaining of their fixtures and not dropping points again,else,it will be over,it will be fighting for top four again this season.Arteta is the reason why Arsenal dropped some vital points that they dropped this season,because he loves gambling with some games by keeping the wrong players on the pitch for a long period of time.There are times when Hervetz was criticised because of his poor performance,but Arteta kept on playing him.Arsrnal have a very good squad,but managing them to get results is another important thing that needs to be done.
I think other teams have already taken over, and Arsenal coming back will be somehow late to me because for Arsenal to be topping the standings for the first time and the early season was a very good achievement for them, so unfortunately, Arsenal performance started declining and they are now in the top 4. Furthermore, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Aston Villa are ahead of Arsenal, so therefore, I don't think these teams I mentioned will allow Arsenal to overtake them in the standings even if Arsenal goes back to the top 3, but they can’t get the first position again.
Manchester City are not back in form since Kelvin De bryune returned from injury, and some other key players performances have been boosted since then, which I even think Arsenal will take over from Liverpool. Although I won’t confidently guarantee Manchester City, for Arsenal to get back, they need a very good manager who is smarter than Arteta because, with all indications, he is still misusing some talented players in the squad.
