Arsenal are on track for a 14th league title. When the Premier League leaders slip up, the chasers do too. It’s not over ‘til it’s over but that’s been a positive of the winter fixture schedule and the other contenders’ margin of error is shrinking.
Arsenal were beaten by Aston Villa but turned the tables just a few games later. They drew with Liverpool the day after Villa and Manchester City settled for draws and Chelsea were beaten at Fulham.
