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.

The Guardian reports Arsenal were able to cut the deficit to just a point following their 2-0 crucial win over Champions League-chasing Newcastle United on Sunday.

Fans believe Arsenal can win EPL

The encouraging Newcastle result had many Arsenal fans believing they still have a chance to see off Man City in the Premier League title race.

According to The Sun, Gunners' diehard fan, Piers Morgan, based the conviction on City's upcoming horror run of games.

"City still have to go away to Everton, Brighton & Brentford… all while battling Real Madrid over two legs… this Title race isn’t over," Morgan tweeted.

A number of his followers seemed to agree with him, with @boqorokey replying:

It’s not over until it’s over."

@abdul_olaniyan added:

"Yep, not over until then end."

@Mawunya_ concluded:

"Arsenal will win the pl title."

However, there are those who disagreed with the argument, with one posting:

"Not over but it is very hard to see City dropping points twice. even assuming Arsenal win all their remaining games."

Another added:

"It's over... giving yourselves false hopes."

Five dramatic title comebacks

Sports Brief also looked at five teams Arsenal can emulate in making a dramatic comeback in the title race, after they appeared to have lost the title to Man City with five games to go.

One of those teams was Arsene Wenger's title-winning Gunners from the 1997/98 season, who recovered from 11 points down to beat Man United at Old Trafford and lift the EPL title.
