Arsenal head to Leeds on Saturday under growing pressure to halt a dip in form before it turns into a full-blown Premier League slump, with Manchester City and Aston Villa poised to close the gap.
Arsenal remain four points clear at the top of the table, but have managed only two points from their last three matches.
The Gunners suffered their first home defeat of the season against Manchester United last week after draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Former United captain Roy Keane believes Arsenal are “feeling the pressure” as they chase a first Premier League title since 2004 following three successive runners-up finishes.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has pledged his team will “live and play with enjoyment, with a lot of courage and with the conviction that we’re going to win it”.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will host Manchester City on Sunday.
Thomas Frank’s team are enduring a miserable domestic campaign – 14th in the table with just two wins in their past 14 matches.

But it is a different story in Europe – with a 2-0 win in Frankfurt on Wednesday giving them a fourth-placed finish out of 36 teams in the Champions League group phase, and a spot in the last 16.
Former Brentford boss Frank, who has been booed by Tottenham fans in recent weeks, will be painfully aware that winning the Europa League last season was not enough to save predecessor Ange Postecoglou’s job.
Below are the Premier League fixtures scheduled for the weekend:
Saturday
