Arsenal and Chelsea couldn't be split on Sunday afternoon as the two sides played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge to move the Gunners five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Mikel Merino equalised for Arsenal in the 59th minute, cancelling out Trevoh Chalobah's early second-half goal for Chelsea. The Blues were down to 10 men for most of the match after Moises Caicedo was shown a red card.

That result keeps Mikel Arteta's squad clear at the top of the league after 13 matches. Manchester City trail by five points following their 3-2 victory over Leeds on Saturday, while Chelsea are a further point behind.

Next week sees Arsenal back in action - twice - as their busy winter schedule rolls on. They'll host Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night before then heading to fourth-placed Aston Villa on Saturday.
