Arsenal have not only stayed top of the league without Gabriel Jesus they have opened up a five point gap to second placed Manchester City. On top of that they have a game in hand and could yet move further clear with the first of two heavyweight clashes against Pep Guardiola's side next Wednesday.
The two matches could still prove pivotal to the title race and Arsenal fans will be excited to see progress being made by their star duo Gabriel Jesus and Emile Smith Rowe after lengthy abscences from both players. Jesus is yet to play since the World Cup whilst Smith Rowe has had a stop-start season.
Their gradual implementation back into the squad would be a huge boost for the second half of the campaign with added quality in the frontline. Not that goals have been lacking, Eddie Nketiah has been a brilliant deputy for Jesus, scoring all of his goals this season since the Brazilian's last appearance.
