#3 Arsenal showing signs of complacency

Arsenal
Arsenal showed no urgency in their gameplay after going ahead

Facing Everton at Goodison Park is always a tough ask but a team's title credentials come to the fore when they face tricky fixtures like this. This fixture was a banana peel moment waiting to happen and it unfolded just like that as even after going ahead with a lucky Alexis Sanchez free kick, the Gunners surrendered a 1-0 lead thanks to two pinpoint headers from defenders, Seamus Coleman and Ashley Williams.

Arsenal showed no urgency in their gameplay after going ahead and were looking susceptible to concede every time the Toffees had the ball.

This was a must-win fixture to keep the pressure on Chelsea and Liverpool and with City hosting Arsenal next, a lot is going to be learned about this Wenger's side who many have claimed to be the most balanced in recent times.
