Arsenal kept their Premier League title hopes alive by breaking an Old Trafford jinx and defeating Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday, regaining the top spot and bringing the championship race down to the last weekend.
Leandro Trossard scored the only goal on 20 minutes as Arsenal triumphed for the second time in 17 games away at United, moving them a point ahead at the top.
Manchester City still control the title race, as the defending champions have two matches remaining to Arsenal’s one.
However, the Gunners maintained pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of their difficult trip to Tottenham on Tuesday.
Arsenal will host Everton on the last day next Sunday, while City will face West Ham.
And Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has stated that he will become the “biggest fan” of north London rivals Tottenham when they meet Manchester City on Tuesday, as the Gunners look for a twist in the Premier League title battle.
“I am going to be the biggest fan of Tottenham ever,” Havertz declared. “Let’s hope for the best!”
Pep Guardiola’s side travels to a stadium where they have lost without scoring in each of the last four Premier League seasons, and Ange Postecoglou will be hoping for a Spurs victory to enhance their chances of qualifying for European competition next year.
