Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has argued that Arsenal's long wait for the Premier League title has actually made the Gunners favourites to win the trophy this season.

Not since the Invincibles season of 2003/04 have Arsenal finished top of the Premier League but Mikel Arteta's side are in an excellent position to end that drought, sitting five points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City with 11 games to go.

There have been some nervy moments for Arsenal in recent weeks, with late goals needed to see off the likes of Manchester United, Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
