Send Push

Arsenal strengthened their position at the top of the Premier League table after a dominant win against Burnley. First-half goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice handed Mikel Arteta's side another three points to put them seven clear of any challengers for the time being.

Though Bournemouth and Sunderland are in the top-four, Manchester City and Liverpool are expected to be their closest challengers for the title, but they do not play until Sunday and Saturday evening, respectively.

As for the Gunners, all they can do is continue to beat the teams in front of them with that having been the case since late September with this result their fifth consecutive league win. Arsenal are understandably clear favourites for the title, though there are plenty of fixtures still to play.
