Tipped by many to take the next step and end their long wait for a Premier League title this season, is Arsenal's challenge already over?
Mikel Arteta's side, runners-up to Manchester City in the previous two campaigns, trail leaders Liverpool by seven points after 10 games following their 1-0 loss at Newcastle United on Saturday.
Blackburn, in 1994, are the only team to come from further back after 10 games and win the title. They trailed Newcastle by eight points but had played a game fewer than the leaders.
The only other clubs to recover a similarly sizeable gap as the one Arsenal must now overcome were Manchester United in 2002-03 and Manchester City in both 2013-14 and 2020-21, with each of those sides trailing by six points after 10 games.
