Manchester City have played one of their two games in hand over Arsenal in the Premier League title race and as expected, it's translated into points on the board.
By no means were Pep Guardiola's side at their very best against West Ham United but they still managed to record a 3-0 victory thanks to second half goals from Nathan Ake, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. As a result, the defending champions reclaimed top spot from the Gunners following their 3-1 win over Chelsea 24 hours prior.
Both clubs are back in action at the weekend and, on paper, it would appear that Arsenal have the tougher assignment facing a Newcastle United side that has only tasted defeat once at St James' Park all season, whilst City host relegation-threatened Leeds United to the Etihad Stadium.
