As things stand with over half the season played, Arsenal are on their way to setting some records over set-piece goals and own goals.

Manchester City are "confident" of catching Arsenal and winning the Premier League title this season. That's according to Tijjani Reijnders, who says City must win the weekend Manchester derby against Man Utd on Saturday if they are to mount a stunning title win.

Chelsea and Arsenal renewed their rivalry in the Premier League on November 10 with the duo enjoying some fierce battles over the years.

Arsenal are back to being six points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League, failing to capitalize on City being held to a draw of their own on Wednesday. On Thursday, Arsenal dominated the opening 25 minutes but let Liverpool back into the game and the Merseyside club looked more likely to score in the second half.

In a late flashpoint, Gabriel Martinelli shoved Conor Bradley off the pitch despite Bradley seeming to be seriously injured. The result leaves Arsenal six points clear atop the table with Liverpool fourth, eight points off third. Up next in the FA Cup, Liverpool will host Barnsley on Monday.

It could be another enormous weekend in the Premier League at both ends of the table and, with that in mind, here are Sports Illustrated’s predictions for Gameweek 22. GW22 kicks off in style with a highly-anticipated Manchester derby.

Looking ahead to Saturday's game against Premier League leaders Arsenal, BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray said Nottingham Forest will need to "raise their game" - like they have done so many times against top sides at the City Ground - if they are to get a positive result.
