Arsenal have seen their own top-four hopes unravel in disastrous fashion. Mikel Arteta's side have lost four of their last five league games, undoing so much of ...

Edouard Mendy is given the ball with Arsenal pressing up the pitch. Arsenal will arguably be the happier side as they’ve been lacking goals recently but have looked sharp in front of goal. The first half swung beautifully back and forth as Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring before Timo Werner equalised a few minutes later. Kick off: Thiago Silva has come on for Chelsea replacing Andreas Christensen in the back line. The striker halts his run though as he looks offside and Aaron Ramsdale comes out to tidy up for Arsenal. He curls a low pass into the box for Lukaku to run onto but the forward is blocked off by Xhaka who holds him up long enough for Ramsdale to scoop up the loose ball.

Romelu Lukaku has been brought back into Chelsea's starting XI for their Premier League showdown with Arsenal on Wednesday night.

He's getting chances, it's just a matter of time for me that he's going to score. The first goal of Lukaku's second spell at Chelsea came away at the Gunners back in August, and when asked if that played a part in his thinking on Wednesday Tuchel admitted: 'A little bit. 'It was not the main reason - he deserves to play first of all and Kai is a bit tired. 'Lukaku has six weeks to save his Chelsea career. As a manager you never give up on your players especially when they come for that kind of price tag. Kai Havertz is overloaded so it was the moment to go with Romelu.'

Both Liverpool and Manchester City have six games remaining with just one point separating the two sides.

- Wolves (A) – TBC - Aston Villa (H) – Sun 22 May, 4pm - Newcastle United (H) – Sun 8 May, 4.30pm - Wolves (H) – Sun 22 May, 4pm - Aston Villa (A) – Tue 10 May, 8pm - Tottenham (H) – Sat 7 May, 7.45pm

Man City beat a resolute Brighton side 3-0 to move back to the top of the Premier League table.

16’ – BIG CHANCE: Sanchez tries to play out from the back and Mahrez intercepts it and has time on the ball in front of goal but he doesn't pass or shoot. The goal he created was crucial in giving his team control of the match and stopping panic setting in. The eyes of the world were on Guardiola's men and Liverpool fans became Brighton supporters for the evening. A big slice of luck. However, once City got one goal the result was never in doubt. City are one point ahead, could that be all it takes to seperate them.

For now it's as you were in the title race with six games to go, although Pep Guardiola and his players were reminded by Brighton & Hove Albion that these next ...

"It is one of the happiest days as next season we will be in the Champions League," said Guardiola. "People take it for granted but we have to be in the Champions League. When it happens mathematically it's because we have done really well. City will need everyone -- particularly key players like De Bruyne and Dias -- if they are going to hold off Liverpool and safely negotiate these next six games while also trying to win the Champions League for the first time in their history. If we don't win all the games, Liverpool will be champions. They might need a bit more here on Saturday, particularly if Watford are as organised and resilient as Brighton. This time City get to put the pressure on Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp's side not in action until 24 hours later against Everton at Anfield. "It happened three years ago, we won 14 in a row to be champions. When Bernardo Silva scored the third on 82 minutes, the home supporters finally got up the courage to chant "champions, champions, champions."

Liverpool had hoped to get their kick off time against Newcastle United put back, but the request has been thrown out by the Premier League.

"The league and the broadcaster really have to try at least to help. You just have to react and deal with it. I can understand that people want to see a football match between Liverpool and Newcastle but I don’t see why any team should have an advantage or a disadvantage.

He has three to aim for in the middle, but his low cross is put out for a corner by Holding. The Arsenal defenders sit off Sarr so he swings an early cross into the box, but it's over everyone in the middle. It's nowhere near Saka, but Azpilicueta unnecessarily pushes him to ground and the referee points straight to the spot. Arsenal's high press is still causing Chelsea some real problems here and the hosts can't get out of their own half.
