This is such a young Arsenal group that hiccups had to be expected.
Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko aside, they are attempting to win a Premier League for the first time, whereas rivals Manchester City are a group rich in experience after winning the title in four of the last five seasons.
To compare this Arsenal to the one in 1997-98, we drew 0-0 with West Ham but then won 10 games in a row to be crowned champions.
In 2001-02, we drew 1-1 with Southampton but then won 12 in a row to take the title.
