Arsenal’s next five Premier League fixtures compared to Manchester City and Chelsea

Arsenal failed to continue their winning run on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea.

Mikel Arteta’s side were in a perfect position to seal victory when the Blues were reduced to 10 men after Moises Caicedo received a red card in the 38th minute.

But despite their numerical inferiority, the visitors took a shocking lead through Trevoh Chalobah early in the second-half.

Although Mikel Merino levelled the scores in the 59th-minute, Arsenal couldn’t find a winner to secure maximum points from the Stamford Bridge encounter.

The result keeps the Gunners at the top of the Premier League, but Manchester City have moved to within five points of the leaders following their 3-2 victory over Leeds United.

Chelsea have the same six-point gap with Arsenal following the 1-1 stalemate.
