Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 4-1 and extended their lead over City at the top of the Premier League to +8, taking advantage of the Citizens' commitment in the FA Cup quarter-finals, where they beat Burnley 6-0 yesterday.
With 69 points, the Gunners are now eight ahead of the title holder, even though the latter is one game down.
Eliminated on Thursday in the last 16 of the Europa League by Sporting Portugal, Arsenal have only the Scudetto as their objective and seem very determined to win their first title after 20 years.
With just 11 games to go, the trophy looks to be getting closer and closer to the north London club.
