I don't know but I think Arsenal should be more confident about City away than Chelsea at home.

Although, José could do what he did at Old Trafford and be ultra-negative 0-0 draw.

With so many games in a such a short period I can see Arsenal free falling.

But everyone else also has so many games too, so im guessing they too will free fall, right>

Or it only applies to Arsenal

Arsenal's squad is definitely going to be tested. Giroud might suffer burn out in spring if you don't sign a forward in a few weeks. He basically has to play every single game.

You need your players fresh going into squeaky bum time. That is one of the key elements to winning the title.

It's laughable that people cannot wait Arsenal to fall from the top. Of course, we like going to Etihad because City play open games against us unlike Jose's negative football who only try to sit back and wait for us to make a mistake but not this time i feel and it will be a great opportunity to take three points of them and not care whatever happens at Stamford Bridge.

Wenger has won the league with a small squad. I do not care as long as they don't get injured. However, we can use Walcott, Flamini, Monreal, and Vermaelen to start against Hull and drop for Cazorla, Arteta, Gibbs, and Mertesacker, so all of them can play against Everton.

This is true, which is why most pundits refuse to accept our title credentials, but i guess only time will tell

Our squad isn't small my any stretch of the imagination, another complete misnomer.

We have one thin area, centre forward, that is a concern granted but there is so much pony out there about how our squad won't cope.

Our bench on the weekend looked superb, not just recognisable names but names that have contributed well this season already.

"This is true, which is why most pundits refuse to accept our title credentials, but i guess only time will tell"

Is it?
Cazorla and Theo our best players this season haven't got 10 starts between them.
The midfield is on a constant rotation in and out the of team aside from Ramsey.
The Ox and Poldi have barely kicked a ball all year.
Gnabry has shown he is more than capable to play here and there at a top level.

The reality is Striker is our weak area in terms of depth and thats pretty much it.

Why are you worried about what people think?
If we cope with these supposed tough fixture list, they'll be an another reason why we cant win the title.

Like i mentioned previously, even if Arsenal are Top going into the last game of the season 3 points ahead of the 2nd placed team with a better goal difference, people will still doubt that we'll win it
