LIVERPOOL, England -- There is usually a red-letter day in a season when Arsenal can look back on the game that set their Premier League title hopes on a slippery slope.
It came as late as February last season, when a makeshift Manchester United overcame Arsene Wenger's team with two goals from Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford, but it usually occurs during the winter months when legs begin to tire during a relentless fixture programme that allows no pause for breath.
Arsenal's hopes have often failed to outlast the Christmas decorations and it may well be the same again this time around.
