Legendary Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger still believes Mikel Arteta’s manne can beat Manchester City to the Premier League title.
The Gunners have dropped four points following successive 2-2 draws - to Liverpool and West Ham - after leading 2-0 and now just have a four-point lead on City, who have a game in hand.
Arsenal will look to stretch that lead on Friday night when they face bottom club Southampton, before a helse showdown with their title rivals at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
