Arsenal eased past Bournemouth 3-0 to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League before Manchester City host Wolves in Saturday's 530pm kick-off.
A Buakyo Saka spot-kick moments before the interval, followed by Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice's second half strikes were enough to seal victory over Andoni Iraola's Cherries at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.
Find out who impressed with our Gooner Fanzine Player Ratings
GK: David Raya - 7/10 - Slightly lucky to earn a foul by Solanke in the build-up to Bournemouth's disallowed in the second half - but another clean sheet in the title run in is not to be sniffed at
RB: Ben White - 8/10 - Dango Ouatarra simply couldn't cope with the in-form defenders powerful runs in behind
CB: William Saliba - 8/10 - Solid and reliable. Nullified Solanke and remained a calm presence in the Gunners backline
CB: Gabriel - 7.5/10 - Nearly scored with a near post header but struggled at times against the Cherries pacey froward line on the rare occasions they did attack
LB: Takehiro Tomiyasu - 7.5/10 - An excellent performance from Arsenal's obdurate Japanese international defender
CM: Martin Odegaard - 8/10 - Never stopped working to create chances for colleagues
CM: Thomas Partey - 7/10 - Ceded posession at times and didn't apepar to entirely convince but is still a welcome addition to bolster the Gunners midfield in the title run in
CM: Declan Rice - 9/10 - World Class and only denied the FWA title by the fact Phil Foden scores more goals. Deserved his late strike to underline his attacking danger to go with his defensive solidity
RW: Bukayo Saka - 8/10 - No nerves when rolling the ball past Travers despite being kicked from pillar to post once again.
ST: Kai Havertz - 8/10 - Won the penalty before the interval and never stopped running on and off the ball to create space and opportunities for colleagues
LW: Leandro Trossard - 8/10 - Excellent finish to double the lead and effectively hand a vital victory to Arsenal
