  1. Man City loom large

    Before we move on to today's back pages, let's have a look at how Wednesday night's results affected the Premier League table.

    As mentioned, Arsenal remain top but Manchester City, who have won their last seven league matches, are just two points behind with two games in hand.

    Liverpool, meanwhile, move up to sixth following their win at West Ham.

  4. They think it's all over...

    It's the morning after the night before - and what a night.

    Premier League leaders Arsenal were wobbling even before they got to the Etihad after three consecutive draws.

    And Pep Guardiola's defending champions showed no mercy as Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland combined to devastating effect.

    The Manchester City manager was quick to point out, despite Wednesday night's 4-1 win, that Arsenal still have a two-point lead.

    But with two games in hand, City are now in the driving seat as they seek a third consecutive title...and a potential Treble.
