Paul Merson, a former England midfielder, has said Arsenal could still go six points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League title run-in.
Manchester City moved to the top of the table after a narrow 1-0 win at Burnley on Wednesday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side are only ahead of the Gunners on goals scored, with both teams level on points and goal difference.
Moreover ,Arsenal can reclaim their position at the summit when they host Newcastle this weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s men will also play Fulham before City travel to Everton in the league.
Paul Merson, speaking on Sky Sports, said:
“From absolutely nowhere, Manchester City are top of the league. It’s scary.
“But Arsenal play twice before City do and could go six points clear again — and they’ve got to make that count. They have to win those two games against Newcastle United and Fulham to put the pressure back on City. It’s a must-win situation.”
