With 10 games from their league season to play, Arsenal’s prospects to exceed Liverpool leaders are disappearing after abandoning the points for a third successive match with a 1-1 draw in Manchester United last Sunday.
The Reds are clear by 15 points with a superiority of 14 goals over their closest rivals, who won a global victory of 9-3 at home against PSV on Tuesday to set up a quarter-final of the Champions League against Real Madrid.
“We will continue to fight to try to win every match, which is the only thing we can do for the moment, because it certainly does not depend on us,” said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, before his team draws the second floor 2-2.
Arsenal had been undefeated at home in the league this season before undergoing a 1-0 surprise defeat against West Ham on February 22.
