Things do not get easier for the north London outfit either as they travel to the City Ground to face a Nottingham Forest side that has emerged as surprise contenders for Champions League qualification.
Despite losing 4-3 to Newcastle at the weekend, Forest are strong at home and will be out to close the gap on Arsenal to three points and perhaps signal their intent to battle for a top-two finish.
That result, coupled with Liverpool beating Manchester City the following day means an 11-point gap separates the two sides following what was a huge weekend in this season's title race.
Though Arsenal have played a game fewer than the leaders, it's looking like an uphill battle to stop Arne Slot's side from being crowned champions of England.
Arsenal will be aiming to avoid falling further behind at the top of the Premier League table when they face Nottingham Forest tonight.
