Arsenal's next five fixtures compared to Chelsea and Liverpool in Premier League title race
Arsenal set the tone for their Premier League title rivals last weekend with a resounding 5-1 away win over Crystal Palace.
The Gunners got off to a quick start at Selhurst Park through Gabriel Jesus before Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and second-half substitute Declan Rice completed an emphatic victory. However, Chelsea could not extend their winning run to six as they drew with Everton, an identical result to Mikel Arteta's side, who drew with the Toffees in their most recent outing at the Emirates Stadium.
Liverpool, meanwhile, made no mistake against Tottenham Hotspur, winning 6-3. football.london details the upcoming fixtures of all three teams in the title race to see how they conclude this year and begin the next.
