Gunners eye top spot

If Arsenal can match their 2-0 win against Bolton Wanderers when the two sides meet again at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, then the Gunners will go to the top of the Premier League.

The visit to the top would be by goal difference and with a game more, but it would make a real statement of intent.

Manager Arsene Wenger said on Sunday: "We know that we are in an interesting position, that nobody expected us to be in. We have the belief."

Returning Cesc Fabregas proved how crucial he is to the North Londoners, with a goal and a typically inspirational all-round performance from the Spaniard.

It seems amazing that Arsenal could hit top spot after Chelsea's rampant 7-2 victory over hapless Sunderland on Saturday. Chelsea's next game will be an interesting challenge against the in-form Birmingham City.

Manchester United remain unconvincing despite a 3-0 win against Burnley. Nevertheless, they are still only a point behind Chelsea from a game more.

It promies to be an interesting second half of the season.
