Arsenal have gone four games without a win and are no longer sitting top of the Premier League table as a result.
Instead, it's Manchester City who lead the way following their 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday afternoon - their eighth straight victory in the competition - thus putting the pressure on the Gunners to respond when they welcome London rivals Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
The scenario is pretty straightforward for Mikel Arteta's side. Win and they return to the summit, albeit potentially for 24 hours with Man City back in action at home to West Ham United on Wednesday; but if their winless run stretches to five then the chances of being crowned Premier League champions will reduce even further.
