Arsenal will be top of the Premier League table on Christmas Day for the first time in 15 years after Brentford supplied a special favour with victory over Manchester City.
The Gunners have enjoyed life in the Premier League under Mikel Arteta this campaign and could end the weekend five points clear of Pep Guardiola's side should they overcome Wolves tonight. Arsenal have won 11 of their 13 league games so far, losing only once, and have emerged as surprise title challengers for the first time since 2016.
With the Qatar World Cup set to kick off next weekend, the Gunners' season will be put on hold for the next month ahead of a Boxing Day return against London rivals West Ham. But with such hope and optimism around the club at the moment, what does being top at Christmas actually mean? football.london takes you down memory lane at the last time Arsenal sat top of the league on December 25.
