It has been revealed that Arsenal must be record breakers to achieve the Premier League title.
The Gunners fell even further behind leaders Liverpool, who have a 13-point lead at the top, after being held on Wednesday to a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest.
In the meantime, the side of Arne Slot won another victory – despite the absence of the Dutchman on the sidelines – to launch further.
With 27 games that are played in the competition season, it seems extremely unlikely that the Reds would throw their advantage away and leave Arsenal back in the race.
In fact, the Gunners should perform the biggest comeback in Premier League history to steal the title from Liverpool's hands.
Statistics Boffins have revealed that the current biggest comeback – after 27 games – was performed by the Gunners in the 1997-98 campaign.

Conversely, the next biggest gap that was closed in competition history was closed by the Red Devils when they closed a seven points lead over Newcastle in 1995-96.
Following that, the side of Mikel Arteta is also in the list for the largest holes in competition history after 27 games after their 2022-23 campaign.
The Gunners had five points ahead of Rivals Man City, but viewed while Pep Guardiola's side sealed a title win and a historic Treble.
Eventually Liverpool's lead is also on the list last season after seeing a four -point gap closed by Man City – before the Reds finally finished third.
This year, with their 13-point lead on Arsenal of Arteta, however, the Reds will be trust that they can conquer a historic 20th league title.
After the midweek results, the Gunners are now closer to the 10th placed Aston Villa than with the leaders of the competition.
If the current point gap is maintained for the rest of the season, Liverpool could win the title at home to Tottenham on 26 April.
Arsenal -fans recently expressed their concern that they might have to see how they give their side the Reds of an honorary guard when they collide later in the season.
The side of Mikel Arteta will travel to Anfield on 10 May, where three more games remain in the season.
It would be the second time in recent years that Arsenal would have done this, because he had also given an honorary guard in 2020.
After sealing a historical league title, Liverpool traveled – then managed by Jurgen Klopp – to the Emirates and received the Wacht Pre -Match.
Responding to the news of that Arsenal might have to do it again, a fan wrote: 'We may have to give a liverpool an honorary guard' accompanied by a poison of a man who looks disappointed.
