Arsenal's chances of lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of the season have been boosted by their north London derby win, new data from Opta's supercomputer suggests. The Gunners' likelihood of winning the title has been increased to 13 per cent, a 4.6 per cent rise from the previous game week and a one per cent increase from the beginning of the season. In fine form, they have only conceded seven goals in their last 10 league matches, scoring 23 and winning seven matches.

Mikel Arteta's side earnt three points on Wednesday night, after coming from behind to beat Spurs with a Leandro Trossard winner. This placed them back above Forest in the table and closed the gap with Liverpool to four points with one more match played. Arteta very much believes that his Arsenal side are in a title fight, calling his side 'sensational' and 'consistent'.

Arsenal will hope to continue their excellent form and defensive record with trips to Wolves and Leicester in the following weeks. However, they will face tests against Manchester City at home and Nottingham Forest away in February. The start of March sees a challenging visit to Old Trafford, with Manchester United having knocked the Gunners out of the FA Cup on penalties on Sunday. In addition to this set back, they have also suffered recent injury blows to key players Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.
