Arsenal’s final Premier League position and points tally predicted after Man City title race twist

Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw with Brentford on Thursday night and have been handed a fresh Premier League title prediction

Arsenal have seen their Premier League title fate predicted after their draw with Brentford on Thursday night. The Gunners were forced to settle for a point in their 1-1 stalemate with the Bees at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s side missed out on the chance to extend their lead over Manchester City in the Premier League table, with their advantage now four points after their draw in west London.

City’s win over Fulham on Wednesday evening saw Arsenal’s lead reduced to three points, and the draw with Brentford has seen the Gunners miss out on the chance to restore their six-point lead.

Arsenal have yet another Premier League match on the horizon before City play again, with Wolves their next opponents after this weekend’s FA Cup fourth round action.

Arteta was asked about the title race after Arsenal’s draw with Brentford, with the Gunners boss emphasising the need to maintain consistency until the end of the season.

“That’s what we have to do [not panic],” Arteta said. “I mean we are going to be willing and preparing to win every single match and the only thing that we can do is focus on that and raise the levels collectively and individually to be better than the opponent every week.

“That’s going to carry on like this till May, regardless if we play before or after that. It’s just the things that we have to do, that’s the most important thing.”
