A section of Arsenal fans is convinced that the club can still win the Premier League title this season after spotting Manchester City's upcoming fixtures.
The Gunners have been the dominant side in the English top flight for the better part of the season after a fine run of form and results under Mikel Arteta.
However, the north Londoners recently lost their grip at the top of the standings after hitting a rough patch with damaging results against Liverpool, West Ham United, Southampton, and City.
Pep Guardiola's men had earlier on Saturday stretched their lead at the top to four points after they secured a 2-1 comfortable win over Leeds at the Etihad Stadium.
