If Mikel Arteta's men are to win the league this season, it will likely be decided by fine margins. Dropped points could be costly, perhaps explaining why one Arsenal fan has spent a bit too long analysing Southampton's recent equaliser against them in granular detail.
Footage uploaded on Twitter shows the buildup to Stuart Armstrong's leveller in the game at the end of October.
Particular attention has been paid to Aaron Ramsdale in the Arsenal goal, who appears to be distracted by something to his left.
He can be seen glancing away from the ball to look at it a couple of times.
Then, suddenly, a pass is slipped into Armstrong's path and he slides the ball beyond Ramsdale to make it 1-1.
What, we hear you ask, could possibly have broken the 'keeper's focus so much?
Well... erm, a pigeon. That's what. Casually going about its piegony life inside the six-yard box, blissfully aware of Kim Källström and Twitter arguments over a player being 28 until they're 29.
The video of it can be watched here. We've not embedded it in case it gets us in bother with the Premier League. Or the pigeon's mum and dad.
Arsenal couldn't find a response to the equaliser and were forced to settle for a draw.
Who knows? By the end of the season, it could be the difference between league victory and another year of disappointment.
