Arsenal enter a crucial week in the Premier League with a six-point lead at the top of the table, but the situation is not yet secure and faces threats as several teams have overcome similar deficits to become champions in Premier League history.
"In this league, there's not much. We're playing very well, we're very consistent, and that's it," said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, stressing that a six-point lead doesn't guarantee anything.
Arsenal enjoyed a near-ideal weekend in Matchday 12, seeing Manchester City and Liverpool both lose before a convincing win over Tottenham Hotspur. Only Chelsea's victory over Burnley prevented the Gunners from widening the gap further.
According to data from the Premier League's official website, history shows that six teams that have led by six points or more after 12 games have gone on to lift the trophy.
