- Arsenal suffered a 1-0 loss to Newcastle, which leaves them further behind in the title race

3. Is the title race over for Arsenal already?
Okay, that might be a little heavy-handed, but the question has to be asked.
Arsenal, with the defeat to Newcastle, are now seven points behind leaders Liverpool and five behind Manchester City.
Given that we have only played 10 out of 38 league games, no one is saying the Gunners can't reel in either side, but it is already looking like a Herculean task.
And that's not ideal.
