Five games. One shootout. One title race that refuses to die.

Belief restored, pressure rising, and a huge chance to go top again :

Episode 175 arrives with Arsenal staring down the final stretch: five games to decide the Premier League title. After a bruising few weeks and the gut‑punch at the Etihad, Tabs is back in full belief mode and this episode sets the tone for the run‑in.

With City edging ahead on goals scored after beating Burnley, Arsenal now have a massive opportunity: two home games before City next play in the league, meaning the Gunners could be six points clear by the time Guardiola’s side return to action. The title race is tight, tense, and absolutely on.

Tabs breaks down the state of play, the psychological reset, and why Arsenal must forget the past and attack the final five games with total clarity. There’s also a fascinating stat from Cartoon Steve Bould comparing the remaining opponents’ goal differences and why Arsenal may have the better chance to rack up goals when it matters most.

Then it’s over to Tabs and Andy for a full Arsenal v Newcastle preview:

• expected lineup decisions (Eze left or central? Zubimendi back in?)

• the physical battle in midfield

• Newcastle’s awful form and injury issues

• Ramsdale returning to the Emirates

• how Arsenal should approach the game tactically

• why this is a chance to put real pressure back on City

• score predictions and what a statement win would mean
