Arsenal, Leicester City and Manchester City will continue their chase for the top spot in the English Premier League table. The three clubs have been engaged in a toe-to-toe battle over the past several weeks.

Arsenal vs. Newcastle United

Arsenal United will look to keep their grip on the top spot in the standings, when they host Newcastle United on Saturday at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are on top of the table with 39 points in 19 matches from 12 wins, three draws and four defeats.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said that being on top at this point does not mean anything, but he said that it gives them a chance to focus on their performance instead of thinking of the margin they need to overcome to get a chance to win the title.

The Gunners need a win to stay on top and they will have to do it without Alexis Sanchez because of a hamstring injury. Mikel Arte is also out due to fitness issues, but Mathieu Flamini will return to action on Saturday.

Leicester City vs. AFC Bournemouth

Leicester City, the most surprising team this season, will look to reclaim the top spot this week. The Foxes will face AFC Bournemouth on Saturday at King Power Stadium.

Manager Claudio Ranieri and his men are currently second to Arsenal in the table. Leicester City are expected to lean on the impressive duo of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy again. They need a win and hope that Arsenal lose to move up on top. If the Gunners win, Leicester City needs to win by three more than Arsenal's lead to take the top spot.

Manchester City vs. Watford

Manchester City will also look to get a chance to take the No. 1 spot anew, when they visit Vicarage Road to face Watford on Saturday.

Manchester City are currently third in the table with 36 points from 11 wins, three draws and five defeats. They will take the top spot with a win, coupled by defeats for Arsenal and Leicester City because of their superior goal difference.
