For the first time in over two months, Manchester City are back at the top of the Premier League table at the expense of Arsenal. The Gunners were not in action over the weekend, which meant a win for City against Fulham, after Pep Guardiola's men closed the gap to their title rivals down to two points, would see them head to the summit.
It was not quite the rout many were likely expecting when Erling Haaland scored from the spot after three minutes, but a 2-1 triumph was enough for City to go top. However, Arsenal can rectify that change almost immediately with both teams in action over the next few days as Mikel Arteta's men play first.
In search of their first win in four, Arsenal take on London rivals Chelsea on Tuesday night at Emirates Stadium, with City facing West Ham the following evening. Once those fixtures have been played only five fixtures remain for City, with four left for Arsenal.
