Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title have been predicted after their draw with Manchester City.
The Gunners managed to rescue a point against Man City with a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium, with a late goal from Gabriel Martinelli helping Mikel Arteta's side avoid defeat.
Erling Haaland had given Man City the lead in the opening ten minutes with Arsenal eventually getting an equaliser in stoppage time from Martinelli, who was initially named on the bench by Arteta.
"I'm very proud of the team," Arteta said of the game. "We dominated them. I'm very disappointed with the result.
"We started incredibly well, so dominant, we didn't allow them to breathe, but in one action, it was very chaotic, there was a duel there, we lose it, and suddenly they find themselves with open spaces and they are lethal there. They finished it with the quality that they have.

"After that we had five shaky minutes that we have to reset mentally because it was so unfair that we concede a goal with what we were doing and after that we completely dominated the game again.
"If you cannot win it, at least don't lose it, and we created an unbelievable moment to score the goal. But the overall feeling, because I know how hard it is to do what we've done on the pitch against Manchester City, I wanted more reward for the team."
The result leaves Arsenal in second place in the Premier League table, level on points with Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth but five adrift of leaders Liverpool, who maintained their 100 percent record at the weekend with their victory over Everton.
Arsenal's next Premier League match will see them travel to face Newcastle United next weekend. Before then, though, a prediction has emerged claiming to foresee how the final league table will look once all 38 fixtures have been played.
Opta Analyst have ran the numbers and have come to the conclusion that Arsenal will finish second in the Premier League this season.
The Gunners are being tipped to finish with 74 points (73.9), which is almost eight fewer than Liverpool who are predicted to win the Premier League title again, this time with 82 points (81.5).
Arsenal also apparently only have a 22.5 percent chance of being crowned Premier League champions this season, with Liverpool the overwhelming favourites with a 60.5 percent likelihood of the title returning to Merseyside.
In terms of the rest of the Champions League spots, Man City (67) and Chelsea (62) are the clubs that are tipped to finish in the top four, while Crystal Palace are in fifth with 60 points. Wolves, Burnley and Sunderland are the three clubs tipped to be relegated to the Championship.
