'Almost has you feeling Arsenal must win at Spurs'

成人快手 Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.
Jake asked: Rice's red and Arsenal's dropped points - is it just a wobble or is the title suddenly a lot harder to get?
Phil answered: Think you're over-reacting there, Jake. Three games, two wins and a draw is hardly a bad start.
What is a factor in every title race now, though, is the psychological pressure Manchester City apply instantly on those who want to challenge them. Dropping two points in only your third game is suddenly painted as an expensive slip.
It almost has you feeling Arsenal must win at Tottenham in the north London derby with their next game being a visit to City.
This is what City's dominance has done.
