Arsenal can close gap on leaders Liverpool to four points by winning the north London derby
Liverpool remain top of the Premier League table after drawing with Nottingham Forest.
The Reds stayed six points clear at the top-flight summit after substitute Diogo Jota scored just 22 seconds after coming on to cancel out Chris Wood’s opener and secure a hard-fought 1-1 tie at the City Ground on Tuesday night.
That result saw high-flying Forest leapfrog Arsenal into second place, though the Gunners can quickly take back that spot and move within four points of leaders Liverpool when they face fierce rivals Tottenham.
Manchester City had another late implosion to draw at Brentford, while Graham Potter got his first win as West Ham boss in a five-goal thriller against Fulham. Chelsea needed Reece James’ last-gasp equaliser off the bench to snatch a draw at home to Bournemouth and are now winless in five league matches with their top-four spot in jeopardy.
Wednesday sees Crystal Palace travel to Leicester before a huge north London derby between Arsenal and Spurs, while David Moyes begins his second Everton spell against Aston Villa and Newcastle entertain Wolves, hoping to jump above Chelsea.
Manchester United’s home game against Southampton rounds off the action on Thursday night, with Ipswich also meeting Brighton.
