Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have spent far more time atop the Premier League table than Manchester City (1,518 days vs 1,201 days), yet City has won four titles during that period while Arsenal has won zero. This statistic crystallizes Arsenal's recent championship curse — they lead more often but City converts those leads into trophies. Arsenal have now failed to win the title on five consecutive occasions when they've finished the calendar year on top of the table over the last 23 years.
