Premier League updates from the 5.30pm GMT kick-offLive scoreboard | Tables | Fixtures | And email Scott here
On the face of it, Arsenal have some work to do if they’re to win the Premier League. Just look!
…and yet, if they win this game – they’ve won four of their last five matches against the Bees, drawing the other one – then beat Brighton on Saturday, the gap at the top would be a mere three points. Yes, Liverpool would have two games in hand before they then take on Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday. But scoreboard pressure is scoreboard pressure, and suddenly the whole picture would be very different. So you can bet your last shiny peseta that Mikel Arteta will have his lads fired up for this one. All is not lost for the Gunners.
