Arsenal have been warned that the Premier League title might not just be a two-horse race after Manchester City closed the gap to the top back down to five points with a victory at Stamford Bridge. Just over one month on from their very own 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge Pep Guardiola's men defeated the Blues, but far less comfortably.
Whereas Arsenal dominated proceedings from start to finish at SW6, City struggled throughout the first period and were perhaps lucky not to be behind, offering some extra hope for Gunners fans that Guardiola's side aren't impenetrable. The expectation remains that City will put together a remarkable run of form to steadily eat away at Arsenal's lead but that hasn't happened so far.
It isn't just the blue part of Manchester that Arsenal should be wary of though, with Jamie Carragher admitting he hadn't seen the Erik ten Hag revival coming at Old Trafford. United are still nine points back from the summit, but are stringing together a run of form that has seen them enter the top four.
