Arsenal's title hopes rest on Spurs and City trips

Arsenal's Premier League season all comes down to the next two games against Tottenham and Man City. They need four points. It's as simple as that.
If they get anything less, then you start to worry because you're playing catch-up against a machine in Man City.
If they draw against Spurs and lose at Man City a week later, they're probably going to be seven points behind and I think that would be it. I know there are 30-odd games left but I just can't see how they make up the seven points.
I was very bullish last year saying Arsenal would definitely win the North London Derby but I'm not so sure this season - and it's a game they can't afford to lose in the title race.
Last season, Arsenal dominated and then all of a sudden they let in a goal and you could only see one result, and that was Tottenham coming back.
I don't think there's a lot wrong with Tottenham at the moment. They have been bang unlucky. They could easily be sitting on nine points and top of the league.
Tottenham dominated Leicester and then should have got a draw against Newcastle at worst. They end up drawing and losing those two games.
With experience, you make sure you don't get beat at Newcastle and at Leicester when it did go 1-1, they didn't look like they were going to score again and that would have been worrying.
But that comes with experience and another year and another year. Look how long it took Man City to win the Champions League.
It's the same with the Premier League, the manager would have come away and gone, you know what, we should have just not lost against Newcastle.
At the time you're thinking if they don't win this game, they've just dropped two points.
There's not a lot in it at the moment with Spurs. They've not been as bad as what people probably think only because of the points they've got. The performances haven't been that bad.
