Leicester v Spurs Leicester have just emerged from another bad patch with a rollicking win at Villa. There are five of them in the Premier League and they’ve all got a bit of intrigue. They remain ninth while West Ham sneak above Wolves on goal difference, for now. The lunchtime game in the WSL has finished too, with Man City beating Arsenal 2-1. “Do you agree that this season’s champions will be the weakest side to have won the title in the last 25-30 years?” Blimey. And with that Spurs are back in the top four, nudging past Newcastle for now. Mid-table squads like Brentford or Fulham challenging the big boys, a resurgent Newcastle returning to the top four is fantastic.” And thanks to Spurs’ defending, they’ve just returned to it again. If they did, expect to see a repeat of 2009-2012, when anyone who was anyone (Fabregas, Adebayor, Clichy, Toure, Nasri, van Persie, Song, Sagna) parked up at teams where they could have a decent chance of winning titles (and did).” After that narrow escape, Palace make it back to the dressing-room unscathed. Manna from heaven for the Saints. Kelechi Iheanacho scores from the edge of the box, and suddenly Leicester have rattled up seven goals in a game and a half.

Saturday's surprise loss to Everton gave opponents a sense of how the league leaders might be slowed down.

"Losing brings a lot of opportunities to look at other things and the reaction of the team," he said in his pre-match press conference. There may be ways to make life harder for Arteta's side but it is not a given that just because Everton and Newcastle successfully gummed up the flanks any other team will be able to do so, nor that Saka won't simply beat two defenders a few times a game instead of one. In Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa he has two wingers who are prepared to do their share of off ball work and who have the pace to burst into the spaces that Arsenal's full backs leave. Everton's win and Newcastle's draw might have given opponents an indication of what can stop Arsenal but it has done the same for Arteta. "The goal that I scored against Forest – I was wide, I got the ball, I played to Bukayo, he went to the wing and I went inside the box. In guiding his side to a 1-0 win at Goodison Park, Sean Dyche picked up and ran with an approach that had brought Newcastle a point at the Emirates Stadium at the turn of the year. No team in the Premier League attempts a higher proportion of long passes than Brentford, no wonder when they are aiming for the likes of Ivan Toney. But that npxG figure points to the tactical adjustments that Arteta has made since Nketiah has come into the side. Gabriel Martinelli continues to flicker with menace but he is not the raging fire of the early season. Iwobi is across to aid Vitaliy Mykolenko and Saka has little choice but to push the ball back into the congested middle. However, recent games have brought with them the first sign that managers are grasping what needs to be done to slow the relentless tide of the league leaders. This time, the Gunners are on a two game losing skid but even that comes with the caveat that in the FA Cup they rotated significantly and their opponents Manchester City did not.
