The only problem being their game when we play the semi final
They get a free hit at Southampton and the chance to build a lead

Definitely. I'd fancy Arsenal to turn West Ham over but their is simply no guarantees in football.
West Ham battling for points at the bottom whilst Arsenal are basically playing a game they HAVE to win.
It's not going to be easy for Arsenal.
you can win the title the ugly way and win games 1.0 and keep it tight at the back, playing the best football sometimes wins you nothing

First things first, we have to get the job done against Leicester and not immediately let Arsenal off the hook like we did against Forest a few days after beating them. We need them to feel like we're not going to slip-up again this season and that we're going to relentlessly chase them down now.
It's a shame they're up against a terrible West Ham side next as they'll be able to put today behind them quickly with what will probably be a comfortable win. It's not impossible that West Ham get something as they're at home and are fighting to avoid relegation, and maybe if we cut the gap down to three points earlier in the day then the pressure will get to them but my head tells me they'll win that pretty easily. Then whilst we're playing an FA Cup semi-final, they've got Southampton at the Emirates which is the very definition of a home banker.
Going in to our game against them at the Etihad, assuming that we've beaten Leicester and they've beaten West Ham and Southampton, they will be 9 points ahead but we will have 2 games in hand. If we then beat Arsenal, we will be 6 points behind them with 2 games in hand and will more than likely have a superior goal difference. Although the league is technically in our hands already, it's also in Arsenal's hands as we've still got to play each other but if it all unfolds as described above then it will be properly in our hands. Losing three times in a row in the same season against your title rivals would surely have a negative psychological impact too.
If we win our next two games, I think our momentum and experience in tight title races will see us over the line.

that may be right, but every game, every season, is different to the past ones, you only become good as your last game, the past is the past,

Brighton and Brentford say hi ;-)
How will Brentford and their Moneyball approach fare in the Premier League?
A look at how Brentford's stats-driven transfer policy could perform in the top flight of English football.

While you were distracted by your private parts a few people made millions from xG. City’s data dept now World Class…thank god.
Try United they would more likely be interested in your suggestion :-)

I also believe the highlighted portion of your post will lead to Crystanbul type scenarios.
Them having to go to places like St James' Park not just needing to win but needing to claw back some goals, recipe for disaster.

You know in hindsight arsenal would have took a draw against Liverpool better to come away with something than nothing,which brings me to the home game against Brentford when we could have took our medicine and a point is better than nothing just think of the extra point/s here and there in games,bit late now I know but just thinking about things like this ..
