Chelsea drawing 0-0 at Everton after Arsenal won 5-1 against Crystal Palace means the Gunners are now only two points behind the Blues in the Premier League

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are on a ten-match unbeaten run acr

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.

Arsenal’s next five fixtures

December 27 vs Ipswich Town (H) at 8.15pm – Premier League

January 4 vs Brighton and Hove Albion (A) at 5.30pm – Premier League

January 12 vs Manchester United (H) at 3pm – FA Cup

January 15 vs Tottenham Hotspur (H) at 8pm – Premier League

verdict: Arsenal have a favourable festive fixture against Ipswich Town- whose only away win came in north London at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month – but there is little New Year’s cheer heading into 2025. It begins two tough back-to-back away games at Brentford and Brighton – who have lost just once at home all season – before three consecutive home games see Man United, Spurs and high-flying Aston Villa visit.
