Premier League leaders Arsenal will face their London rivals Chelsea on Sunday in an important match for the title race.Manchester City can stay close to Arsenal if they beat Leeds United.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are struggling and cannot afford to lose again.

Arsenal improved after players' meetingArsenal improved their performance after the players held a meeting before their big 4–1 win against Tottenham.Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze both scored twice in a north London derby rout that came just four days after Arsenal were stunned by a 2-2 draw at bottom of the table Wolves.Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice said the players spoke to each other in a "firm" way, leading to a cathartic victory at Tottenham that reestablished an five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City.After beating Tottenham, Arsenal are now five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City."It's important sometimes just to say what you feel and to let it all out in the group," Gyokeres said ahead of Chelsea's visit to the Emirates Stadium."Most of us spoke. Everyone can recognise how different people feel in the moment and you get a better understanding of the feeling."If you're not honest, I think it's hard to improve. It was a good chat and now we're going to prepare for a big game against Chelsea."

Manchester City say they will not give upCity manager Pep Guardiola said his team will “never give up” in the fight for the Premier League title.Manchester City recently won 2–1 against Newcastle. Arsenal are five points ahead, but City have one extra match to play.If City win all their remaining 11 games, they will win the title no matter what Arsenal do."When I was at Spurs and we drew 2-2 someone said why don't we drop the Premier League and focus on the cups.

I said, 'No, why? Let's go, let's try'," Guardiola said before City's trip to Leeds on Saturday."Many things are going to happen. Never give up. Ten or 11 games is a lot of games in the Premier League."Tottenham fighting to avoid relegationTottenham are in serious trouble and are only four points above the relegation zone.Their new interim manager Igor Tudor lost his first match 4–1 against Arsenal. Tottenham have not won in nine games and have many injured players.They have 11 matches left to avoid being relegated to the Championship."Of course there is enough time (to survive)," Tudor said."Stay humble, that is the key for each of us. Try to become what I said before: a hard-working team. That is the only goal we have now in this moment."
