Manchester City and Arsenal are continuing to go back and forth for domestic glory this season in the Premier League.

The Gunners' narrow 1-0 win at Manchester United this week means they have leapfrogged Pep Guardiola's side with just one point at present separating the two teams at the top of the table.

City still have Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United to come with Arsenal set to face Everton at the Emirates on the final day of the season next weekend.
