Premier League title race fixtures compared ahead of Chelsea vs Arsenal
Arsenal continue to lead the Premier League title race, with Mikel Arteta’s side looking to extend their advantage at the top of the table when they face Chelsea
Arsenal continued their impressive start to the season with a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, keeping Mikel Arteta’s side unbeaten in Europe’s top competition. The Gunners have only conceded once in the tournament so far, following matches against Athletic Club Bilbao, Olympiacos, Atletico Madrid, Slavia Prague and Bayern.
Their remarkable defensive record was broken by Lennart Karl, who levelled for Vincent Kompany’s team just after the half-hour mark, after Jurrien Timber’s opening goal. However, Arsenal demonstrated their quality and emerged victorious thanks to goals from Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli.
Chelsea secured an impressive win over Barcelona, but Manchester City, Liverpool and Spurs were beaten by Bayer Leverkusen, PSV and PSG in Europe, with their form not much better in the Premier League. Attention will now shift back to domestic action, with Arsenal currently leading the Premier League title race.
Arteta’s squad are six points ahead of their closest competitors, Chelsea, who they face next. A trip across London could see Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points, depending on other results. Last weekend, they took advantage of defeats for Manchester City and reigning Premier League champions, Liverpool.
