Arsenal have put together a battling run of three consecutive victories to seize the initiative in the race for a top four finish as their Premier League rivals flounder.
The Gunners edged out Wolves last Thursday having defeated the same opponent two weeks earlier, with a deserved victory over Brentford sandwiched in-between the two wins.
A glance at the table suggests Mikel Arteta's side are in the driving seat in search of Champions League qualification as they are just two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United despite playing three fewer fixtures.
