They trail the league leaders by seven points, with Liverpool's formidable form and a slew of injuries meaning Arsenal have a tough task ahead if they want to knock the Reds off the top spot. 

However, history has shown us that it's too early to make title predictions in February. Arsenal themselves have proven that overcoming an even larger points deficit is entirely possible.

Arsene Wenger's first league title came in his first full term at the helm of the north London club in the 1997/98 season, and a week later, he also clinched the FA Cup to secure a historic double.

That was despite the Gunners being 13 points behind bitter rivals and reigning champions Manchester United in late December - and still 12 points adrift in February - due to a rough patch of form from mid-October onwards.

But Wenger left an historic mark on English football with an impressive 10-game winning streak towards the end of the season, during which his side conceded just three goals.

Arsenal icon Ray Parlour, who was integral to the 'Invincibles' squad, believes that Mikel Arteta has what it takes to clinch his first Premier League title.

Parlour has discussed the Gunners title chances as he said: "Going into the winter break in Dubai, they needed that good win against Manchester City," report football.london via NetBet Sports Betting.

"I think last season they had a really good run after this winter break so that’s what they’ve got to do if they want to have any chance of winning that title.

One game was not enough to end the dominance of Ferguson, however, and it won't be enough this time either with Slot leading the squad at Anfield.

Parlour highlighted the importance of seizing opportunities when rivals falter, and developing consistency where it matters most - something that has eluded Arsenal this season thanks to a slew of injuries.

The Gunners have also dropped points from advantageous positions this term, most recently squandering a 2-0 lead in a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.

The Gunners could shrink the gap to four points before the Reds kick a ball, and put real pressure on the league leaders.

Arteta's squad demonstrated their capabilities to fight until the end last season, losing only one match and drawing another between January and the end of the season
