No be small jolly for Arsenal as dem dey clutch Christmas top position again. But the matter no be wetin e suppose be o! Mikel Arteta and im boys dey behave like one toy wey battery don dey low.

Wetin happen? Last week, Arsenal gloat say dem win against bottom side, with one late stoppage-time own goal. But this past Saturday, dem show say dem fit endure. Dem grind out win wey no be easy, just as Man City don dey hot dem for tabel.

The match wey dem play against Everton, na penalty wey come after one handball wey give dem all three points. E no be say dem shine for field, but dem manage carry the victory. As if sey e be like say Arsenal no get that necessary flair wey dem need again. This fit be trend wey go cause dem wahala down the line.

Just one month ago, Arsenal clear six points for the top and seven points ahead of City after dem hammer one hat-trick against dem. But now, City don come back strong, and dem dey tail Arsenal like say na their shadow.

E go hard for Arsenal make dem win title this season if dem no wake up. If we reason am, their wins don dey come from own goals and penalties. Shey na so champions dey operate? I no sure!

To add more troubles, Arsenal history dey look dem face as dem dey battle strangers from City wey don break dem heart before. The only good side na say Arsenal fit hold chest say dem dey top for Christmas again, but if season end and dem no win title, wetin be di gain?

As Christmas dey approach, fixtures dey pile up like rice for party. Arsenal go meet Crystal Palace for quarter-finals of Carabao Cup on December 23, two days before Christmas. Na one big concern for dem and Palace as both sides dey joggle fixtures and injuries.

Na only time go tell if Edward Eze and im squad fit match Arsenal. What’s more? Gabriel Jesus dey ready to play im 100th game for Arsenal against Palace, and na the same Palace wey begin him journey with Arsenal. You know say victory dey sweet pass?

Arteta talk say dem no dey look at City, but e no fit block di reality say dem dey face tough competition. City don come back with full force under Pep Guardiola, and dem dey hot like pepper soup. If Arsenal wan survive this title race, dem go need do pass as dem dey do now.

This Arsenal side fit dey win without dazzy performance, but they go need more than just resilience to keep up with City and other teams. We go see how e go play out when dem face Palace and how dem go set their destiny for di rest of the season.
