Arsenal will have the chance to briefly extend their lead over Manchester City to four points when they face Bournemouth this weekend.
The Gunners currently sit top of the pile and a point ahead of the defending champions but have played an extra game in comparison to their title rivals.
Such have been the standards set by both City and Liverpool over the years, Mikel Arteta cannot afford another slip-up.
His team have responded well to losses against Aston Villa and Bayern Munich and emerged from the north London derby last week with a crucial three points but have little more margin for error.
The Cherries, meanwhile, have eyes on a top-half finish having set a new club-record Premier League points tally of 48.
