Excuses have run out for Arsenal ahead of red-hot title showdown
The London Standard

His side look spent, but Arteta must find a way to get a statement result in battle with City.
SUFFERING Mikel Arteta during the defeat to Bournemouth
Beating Arsenal once is so difficult," Pep Guardiola said on Sunday night.
"Imagine beating them twice in a few weeks." With the season threatening to slip from Arsenal's grasp, that does not currently feel like a particularly taxing test of imagination.
Last month's Carabao Cup final was billed as a defining moment in the season. One to establish Arsenal as a trophy-winning force and leave Manchester City counted out, or a chance for Guardiola's side to land a counter-punch and have the Gunners swirling in self-doubt.
The latter has materialised. After that final defeat, the best-case scenario for Arsenal was that it could be compartmentalised and left at Wembley. Instead it is a shadow they cannot shake.
Losing to City last month could be explained as a one-off bad day, even if it came on such a big occasion.
Southampton knocking Arsenal out of the FA Cup came with the caveat of a rotated Gunners side. Forgiving explanations have now run out.
