Cracks appearing in leader Arsenal's EPL title bid

The first cracks are appearing in Arsenal's English Premier League title bid, right before the team's biggest match of the season.

A 1-1 draw at home to Brentford on Saturday came a week after a lackluster 1-0 loss at Everton.

Hardly the run of results the leader will have wanted heading into the big one on Wednesday, when second-placed Manchester City comes to Emirates Stadium.

Six points separate the teams, though City can reduce that when the defending champion hosts Aston Villa on Sunday. Beat Arsenal, too, and City could even climb into first place — albeit having played a game more.
