The Premier League title is Arsenal's to lose, and if they continue to pass every test of their credentials, they will become champions for the first time since 2004. But Mikel Arteta's team are not there yet and the looming shadow of Manchester City is beginning to envelope the club's ambitions.
Sunday's 3-2 win against Manchester United at the Emirates felt like a significant moment for so many reasons. Eddie Nketiah's 90th-minute goal turned one point into three, the win was a response to City beating Wolves 3-0 earlier in the day and the victory highlighted the strength of character within Arteta's squad.
