We feel like we have been saying this consistently for weeks, but over to you Manchester City.

Arsenal's 1-0 win over Manchester United again puts Mikel Arteta's side at the summit of the Premier League with City again to play catch up, but for the last time midweek against Tottenham.

The Gunners managed to grind out the win at Old Trafford, a venue they had only won at once in their last ten meetings.

Arsenal were in a similar position last season, but wilted down the stretch as the City juggernaut steamrolled past them to a third successive title. But this year is different.

City will need to go to a ground where they have had trouble and win to ensure the title race is in their hands. A draw gives Arsenal the advantage due to a superior goal difference.

So as bad as it sounds, we're all Spurs supporters midweek.

The Gunners have done all they can this season, scored the most league goals in a season and won the most league games in a season in their history and even that still might not be enough to slay Pep Guardiola's side.

But that is the kind of year Arsenal has had, its been one for the ages and there is still one final chapter to be written at the Emirates next weekend.

So many have waited for the chance for Arsenal to taste Premier League glory and now that its within sight, it's almost too much to bare.

But before that, we need our north London neighbors to do us a favor and get a result against Pep's juggernaut.
