Last week’s 2-0 win at Leicester City meant Mikel Arteta’s men briefly closed the gap to the Reds to just four points but the Merseyside outfit moved seven points clear with a 2-1 victory over Wolves.
With 13 games left of the season, pressure is on Arsenal to be as close to perfect as they can and that continues when they take on West Ham this week. The Hammers have a mixed start to life under Potter but have failed to win in their last four Premier League games.
