Arsenal's title hopes are looking more and more like a done deal, with the Gunners now sitting comfortably at the top of the Premier League table. Mikel Arteta's side has emerged from their weekend encounter with Nottingham Forest with an advantage of seven points over their rivals. The reality is, Arsenal will never forgive themselves if they don't claim the title that has proved so elusive for so long.
The cards are falling in Arsenal's favour, and it's hard to see how anyone can stop them now. Manchester City have picked up only three points out of 12 recently, while Liverpool's defence of their crown is looking increasingly tenuous. Even Aston Villa, who were enjoying a strong run before their latest defeat, seem to be struggling to keep pace.
Arsenal's squad looks formidable, with an air-tight defence and quality in all areas. They've shown themselves to be more than capable of beating anyone on their day, and it's hard to see how they can lose to anyone now that they're so far ahead of the pack.
The question is, will Arsenal be able to maintain this level of consistency? The pressure is mounting, and Arteta's side will need to stay focused if they want to bring home the title. But on current form, it looks like a done deal.
