    After Chelsea and Manchester City both maintained their 100% winning starts to the season on Saturday, Arsenal can ill afford to drop further behind in the title race today, in what is only an 18-match season.

    The Gunners of course last at Man City last weekend, so would fall six points behind after just three games as things stand.
