Arsenal gun for an eight-point lead over Man City: Arsenal’s defeat by Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round in January may turn out to be a blessing in disguise as on Sunday they have the chance to open an eight-point lead in the Premier League…
City have gone on to reach the quarterfinals and will face Championship leaders Burnley on Saturday, then will be keeping their fingers crossed that Crystal Palace can do them a favour and halt Arsenal’s charge 24 hours later.
Arsenal will take nothing for granted, though. In the last four league meetings with Palace at home, they have drawn three and lost the other. "From where Arsenal were, if they were to win the title it would go down as one of the great Premier League achievements," he said after Mikel Arteta’s side swept to a 3-0 victory at Fulham last weekend, their fifth successive league win since losing to Man City in February.
Brighton’s win put them very much in the reckoning for a top-four finish as they are six points behind Tottenham Hotspur, fourth with two games in hand. Leicester are in dire need of points as they are only out of the bottom three on goal difference but Brentford are formidable at home, winning seven and drawing five of their league games at their atmospheric Brentford Community Stadium.
