Arsenal have opened up some breathing room at the top of the Premier League, securing a 1-0 victory away at Brighton, while their closest rivals, Manchester City, were held to a 2-2 draw by relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest.
However, as recent seasons have shown, the Gunners cannot afford to rest on their laurels in the final stretch of the campaign, with City unlikely to ease off the pace.
That’s why Saturday’s league clash with Everton at the Emirates is so crucial, as Mikel Arteta’s side aim to secure a seven-point lead at the top by the weekend’s end.
