Arsenal now lead the Premier League by six points, capitalising on a weekend where their closest title rivals faltered. The Gunners secured a decisive 4-0 victory over Leeds United on Saturday, a result that ended their recent three-game winless streak in the league. This win moved them to 53 points from 24 matches.
Manchester City, in second place, dropped crucial points by drawing 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. City had held a two-goal advantage in the match. This draw means Pep Guardiola's side has secured just one league win in 2026.
Third-placed Aston Villa also suffered a setback, losing 1-0 at home to 10-man Brentford. Villa now trail Arsenal by seven points. According to chief football writer Phil McNulty, Arsenal will have only themselves to blame if they fail to win the title from this strong position.
