Arsenal slipped up in the Premier League title race on Saturday, squandering a two-goal lead to draw with Aston Villa after Liverpool beat Brentford thanks to a stoppage-time double from Darwin Nunez.

Arne Slot’s team had threatened to run away with the 2024-25 Premier League, but after their draw at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday and Arsenal’s win over Tottenham Hotspur the following night, the gap is down to four points — albeit Liverpool have a game in hand.

Pep Guardiola’s Man City is unbeaten in its last six league games and appears to be steeling itself for the sort of run that has often carried it to titles.
