Arsenal can extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they host Everton this weekend. A hard fought win over Brighton last time out in the league, coupled with Manchester City drawing 2-2 with Nottingham Forest means Arsenal have a seven point advantage at the summit, though they have played a game more. The Gunners are up first this weekend and can open up a ten point lead over Man City, before they face relegation-threatened West Ham later in the day, with victory over Everton. However, Arsenal will have their work cut out as Everton boast one of the best away records in the Premier League this season and are unbeaten on the road since December.
