Arsenal suffered a critical 2-2 draw against Wolves, squandering a two-goal lead and intensifying title race anxieties. Mikel Arteta's side now trails Manchester City by five points with just 12 games remaining, a gap City could erase by winning all their matches including the April trip to Emirates Stadium. This latest wobble follows a familiar pattern: Arsenal's title challenges have collapsed in the final stretch of the past four seasons, winning fewer points than City from this stage onward. The 2022-23 season saw Arsenal top the table until a 4-1 defeat at Etihad, while 2023-24 ended with a fourth consecutive City title despite Arsenal's late-season surge. Only 21 points from their final 12 games in 2022-23 and 27 points in 2023-24 starkly contrast with City's 31 and 30 points respectively, highlighting Arteta's squad's historical struggles to close out titles.
