Arsenal is now under serious pressure to address Manchester City's resurgence. The pressure is immense after City's hat-trick against Crystal Palace, and their climb to the top of the table indicates that Guardiola's team is back at full strength and not backing down. Meanwhile, Arsenal had a difficult escape, avoiding a drop or decline at this critical stage. The hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton was a night that saved their top spot. This was achieved through a dramatic match where any stumble could have caused a major crisis in Mikel Arteta's team, more so than the concerning point deficit, especially with the fierce pursuit that City has announced in recent rounds.
