Arsenal continue to defy expectations and lead the way in their Premier League title challenge against reigning champions Manchester City. Manchester United are not far off the pace in third place and could make a late challenge should Marcus Rashford continue to stay fit and firing in the goals.
The Gunners fell to second in the table as City picked up a crucial 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium. The title race took yet another twist just days later as Arsenal came from behind twice to win 4-2 against Aston Villa, as City drew 1-1 against Nottingham Forest despite having a number of clear chances to win the game.
Mikel Arteta will hope his side can make it back-to-back wins this weekend with a victory against Leicester who head into the game off the back of a 3-0 defeat against United. Arsenal still have a key game in hand - which will be played against Everton - over City and United that could see them extend their advantage over Pep Guardiola's side in second to five points.
