Arsenal's shock 2-1 defeat by Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium means Mikel Arteta's side have picked up just 70 points from 32 games this season.
The last Premier League champion to have as few points with six games left to play was Leicester City on 69 points in 2015-16.
Only three teams in the last 22 seasons have had as few points at this stage of the season and went on to win the title - Manchester United in 2010-11 (69 points), Manchester City in 2013-14 (70 points) and Leicester City in 2015-16 (69 points).
The average points tally of an eventual champion after 32 games played, in a 38-game season, is 74 points.
Therefore, the Gunners are four points off the pace after Saturday's loss to the Cherries. However, they still have more points at this stage than they did when they won top-flight titles in 1997-98 (66 points) and 2001-02 (69 points).
