Are Arsenal in danger of repeating history?

Arsenal's disappointing 2-2 draw at Wolves on Wednesday has similarities to what happened to the Gunners 18 years ago.

Back in 2008, Arsene Wenger's side were top of the Premier League after 26 games, with 63 points and a nice five-point lead over Manchester United in second.

Similar to this season, their 27th game involved a trip to the West Midlands to face a side battling relegation in Alex McLeish's Birmingham City.

After an awful injury to Arsenal striker Eduardo and a goal from 10-man Birmingham's James McFadden, an 18-year-old Theo Walcott scored his first-ever goals in the Premier League to leave the leaders 2-1 up heading into injury-time.
