Manchester City put themselves firmly in the driving seat for the Premier League title on Wednesday night. Pep Guardiola's side were dominant pretty much from start to finish against Mikel Arteta's Gunners and ran out comprehensive 4-1 winners at the Etihad Stadium.
City remain in second place in the table, but only two points behind Arsenal, crucially with two games in hand. And Guardiola's men can go top of the table on Sunday if they beat Fulham, with Arsenal not playing until a London derby with Chelsea next Tuesday night.
Arsenal face a final five fixtures and need to get out of a rut sharpish if they are to stand any chance of lifting the crown next month. Defeat to City followed three straight draws, meaning the league leaders have not won in four games - something no Premier League leader has done since Arsenal themselves in 2008.
