It is set to be the tightest Premier League title race in many years.
Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Brentford on Tuesday evening lifted Pep Guardiola's champions above Arsenal into second place - one point behind leaders Liverpool - with 13 rounds of fixtures remaining.
For the first time since 2015-16, when the third-placed Gunners were two points behind leaders Leicester after 26 games, the top three are separated by just two points.
In fact, that gap at the top has only been as tight at this stage of a Premier League season on seven other occasions - and only four times this century.
