(Video) Declan Rice nets sixth league goal of the season to fire Gunners top
Arsenal, thanks to a crucial first-half goal from Declan Rice, have leapfrogged Manchester City and Liverpool to go top of the Premier League table.
The Gunners, who are hosting Thomas Frank’s Brentford at the Emirates Stadium, know this weekend’s action is the most important of the season.
With Liverpool welcoming Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions to Anfield on Sunday, Mikel Arteta’s men, with all three points, can improve their chances of lifting their first Premier League title since 2004.
