"Arsenal opened up a nine-point lead at the top of the table on Saturday with their 3-0 win over Sunderland, but Manchester City's dramatic victory over Liverpool the following day cut that back down to six. And with City facing Fulham on Wednesday before Arsenal visit Brentford, that gap could have narrowed to three by the time the Gunners kick off."
""I understand [frustration that City won], but these are things we cannot control," Arteta said. "We have to focus on us, in the present, and every three days, what's coming, and just enjoy that. "Remain focused, because that's [City playing twice before Arsenal are next in action] going to happen between now and the end of the season, as it has happened in the last six months, so it's something normal, natural - and I'm looking forward to it.""
Arsenal opened a nine-point lead after a 3-0 win over Sunderland, but Manchester City's subsequent victory cut the lead to six. City play Fulham before Arsenal visit Brentford, so the gap could be three by the time Arsenal kick off. Opta gives Arsenal a 90.2% chance of finishing top of the table. Arsenal must concentrate on present fixtures and preparation rather than opposing teams' results. Arsenal aim for a third consecutive league win at Brentford, having won their last three away games there 7-1 on aggregate. Arsenal have lost one of their last 23 London derbies (W17 D5). Tottenham have parted company with head coach Thomas Frank.
