Arsenal remain locked in a race for the Premier League title with reigning champions Manchester City. The Gunners moved within a point of Pep Guardiola's side at the top of the table after beating Newcastle at St. James' Park last weekend.
Many felt that Mikel Arteta's side would drop points against the Magpies who are enjoying a brilliant season under Eddie Howe. Arsenal missed out on Champions League football qualification last term after suffering a defeat against Newcastle at St. James' Park, but Arteta used the disappointment of last season to motivate his players to pick up three points in the same fixture this season.
City play before the Gunners in the Premier League this weekend as they take on Everton at Goodison Park - a ground where Guardiola's side have struggled in the past. Arsenal take on Brighton - which is a test in itself - as the title race could take yet another twist.
