Manchester City know they can be top of the pile come Christmas if they beat West Ham United and Arsenal slip up to Everton on Saturday night.
City are just two points behind Mikel Arteta’s Gunners and will leapfrog the table-toppers by conquering West Ham at the Etihad. Due to their superior goal difference, the Cityzens could then finish the weekend in top spot if Arsenal drop points at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
