The Monday Night Club panel debated whether Arsenal are "bottling" the title race as Manchester City close the gap with a game in hand and six points to make up. Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Nedum Onuoha joined Steve Crossman to discuss the role of mentality in a title race and how fan nervousness might be affecting Arsenal's performances on the pitch.

The discussion turned to Arsenal's apparent lack of threat from open play and whether Mikel Arteta's side are missing something psychologically. A free-flowing Manchester City are relishing the chase, and with Arsenal visiting the Etihad this Sunday, that result could prove decisive in the title race.

The panel also reacted to Tottenham's first loss under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi. With Spurs now in the relegation zone for the first time since 2015 and two points from safety, questions remain about whether the Italian can save the club from relegation.
