Arsenal and Man City handed huge title race shift after major Newcastle injury concern revealed

Arsenal and Manchester City look set to battle it out for the Premier League title right to the wire, with both sides pushing each other all the way so far. The Gunners currently hold the advantage, sitting top with a six point gap to their rivals, though winning the league is now in City's hands too.

Pep Guardiola's squad still holds an extra game over the north London outfit as well as an upcoming head-to-head that could see the teams go level on points. After a draw to Liverpool last weekend, Mikel Arteta will be hopeful his side can respond to keep their lead when they face West Ham in a few days.

"We’ve been responding for 31 games now," the Spaniard responded when asked if his team need to find a response against the Hammers. "Every single day is a test. The test now is how good are we going to be on Monday, and how well will we prepare and play the way we want to play to beat West Ham."
