The Premier League title really does look like it might end up going down to the wire now.

After Arsenal and Manchester City both won at the weekend, Liverpool could only manage a draw at Manchester United as they slipped behind the Gunners on goal difference.

Of course, for Arsenal, it was the dream weekend as they went to Brighton and dismantled them with ease.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side had no answer for Arsenal and in reality, looked a side that might have ran its course under the in-demand Italian coach.

For Arsenal, it mattered little. They simply carried on as they have been and dominated, showing yet again they are very much in contention to win it all.

As we know, the title could end up going anywhere with big games to come.

And speaking about the title race for TalkSPORT, Simon Jordan has made his own prediction involving Arsenal and bitter rivals, Tottenham.

Speaking alongside Graeme Souness on the show, Jordan was full of praise for Arsenal and suggested they could go on to win all their remaining games.

However, he did fire a word of warning when it came to the Tottenham fixture.

“I think Arsenal now are really in the box seat. I think they are in the groove. I think Arsenal could go on, with the exception of the Spurs game potentially, because I think that might be the banana skin, and win all their games,” Jordan said.

Who do Arsenal play in their remaining fixtures?

Arsenal have a tricky run-in and their Champions League duties, plus the Tottenham fixture, could well be massive.

A huge double header with Bayern Munich awaits over the course of the next week, while they face Champions League chasing Aston Villa in between.

After that, a tricky trip to Wolves won’t be easy for Arsenal, nor will a London derby at home to Chelsea, albeit they will fancy themselves to beat Pochettino’s men.

From there that tricky trip to Tottenham awaits before a more comfortable looking game against Bournemouth at home arrives. After, though, a massive trip to Old Trafford awaits, before Arsenal round the season off by taking on relegation threatened Everton on the final day.

Arsenal fans, then, will be a nervy bunch as the fixtures progress.
