Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over in their latest match on October 26 at Emirates Stadium.

It is Manchester City rather than Liverpool who are billed as Arsenal’s closest challengers. Pep Guardiola’s side may have also stumbled on Sunday, falling to a 1–0 reverse against Aston Villa, but the four-match losing streak endured by Arne Slot’s side has relegated them to the status of third place.

City started brightly at Villa Park, with the ball being worked into promising wide areas that lacked a more pinpoint delivery.

Meanwhile, all three newly promoted clubs have won on the same Premier League matchday for the first time since November 2020.
