Arsenal can head into the World Cup break top of the Premier League table if they beat Wolves at Molineux this evening or Manchester City fail to beat Brentford. The Gunners are two points clear of Pep Guardiola's side but City perhaps hold a slight advantage as they play before Arsenal on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta has not seen that affect his side in recent weeks though as they have often had to play on Sunday's following their Europa League campaign where fixtures take place every Thursday, with their superb win over Chelsea coming the day after City snatched a late winner against Fulham.
The Gunners have won 11 of their 13 Premier League fixtures which has included two impressive winning runs with noteworthy victories over Liverpool, Spurs and most recently Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
