Arsenal opened up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday and put the pressure back on Manchester City. The Gunners snapped a four-game winless streak with two late goals at Aston Villa last week to take back control of the title race after briefly being usurped at the top of the table by Manchester City. Mikel Arteta's men needed no such drama at the King Power as Martinelli scored a second-half goal which was enough for the Gunners to secure a vital win. Mikel Arteta's decision to start both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard in the front three at the expense of Eddie Nketiah paid dividends. With a mid-week fixture on the horizon, the Gunners could extend their lead at the top and strengthen their hold on the PL title race.
