Manchester City must return to winning ways against Bournemouth this weekend or face finding themselves seven or even eight points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Mikel Arteta's side enter the weekend with a two-point lead atop the table and kick-off against Leicester City two-and-a-half hours before City do at Bournemouth. Were they to win and Pep Guardiola's side again fail to, then that gap would grow.
Arsenal also have a game in hand and play that against Everton in midweek, 24 hours after City's FA Cup fifth round tie against Bristol City. Win that, and the north London club will be more than half a dozen points clear, having played the same number of matches.
