For a long time it has seemed as though it was simply a case of Manchester City hunting Arsenal down - but after the weekend's results, there's now a chasing pack forming behind the Gunners.
Arsenal are the clear favourites as they pulled out an eight-point lead over Manchester City - with the pair winning and losing their respective derbies. City's defeat to Manchester United brought them closer into the mix - with a point separating the noisy neighbours.
And then there is Newcastle. Eddie Howe's side keep on finding victories - this week a 1-0 win over Fulham - and are keeping pace with the big guns. They are level with the Red Devils on 38 points to spilt the Manchester rivals in the table.
