GUNNERS TOP THE PILE AT CHRISTMAS

ARSENAL will be top of the table at Christmas for the first time in 15 years. They have not won the league in any of the last five years in which they have done that…

10

BUT the Christmas leaders have won the title in

10 of the last 13 seasons, with Manchester City coming from behind to triumph in the other three.

AND it is not uncommon for City to be five points behind after 14 games. They were five adrift of Liverpool at this stage of 2020-21 and ended up 17 points clear of Jurgen Klopp’s men!
