Arsenal will need all hands on deck if they are to overturn what is already an unlikely deficit to Manchester City. Having put the pressure on Pep Guardiola's men with a strong 2-0 victory against Newcastle the gap is back down to one point.
Should City win their game in hand then they would move to within two games of winning the title once again, though. It is no longer in hands of Mikel Arteta and his side but they are doing their bit to push it down to the wire.
That was helped by the fitness of Gabriel Magalhaes. The Brazilian had been a worry before the Newcastle game after being taken off with injury against Chelsea earlier in the week. His immediate return to the team coincided with another victory.
