Gunners getting caught with draws down again

ALL MINE City boss Pep Guardiola could be getting his hands on big prize again

A FEW weeks ago Mikel Arteta appeared to be in charge of a juggernaut blazing towards the league title.

But the wheels are now in serious danger of falling off.

When Arsenal travelled to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest in the middle of last month, a win would have seen them open up a nine-point lead at the top of the table.

Manchester City had suffered a shock derby defeat at United a few hours earlier.

But Arsenal were held to a goalless draw.

It didn't feel too significant at the time, because their advantage remained seven points.

But it was a sign of the wobble the Gunners were suffering.
