Sky Sports Champions League •

Arsenal's 3-0 demolition of Fulham on Saturday pushed them six points clear at the summit, a margin Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp says has shifted the pressure onto Manchester City. The Gunners' win also stretched their goal difference advantage to four, with 67 goals scored against City's 66. Redknapp now rates Arsenal as the favourites.

City must respond in their upcoming fixtures, beginning with an away clash at Everton on Monday Night Football. Redknapp warned that Everton, Brentford, Bournemouth and Aston Villa all present tricky tests, while Arsenal still face West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace, games he believes could further widen the gap if the Gunners keep scoring heavily.

Mikel Arteta praised his side's aggressive start and energy that unsettled Fulham, saying the win keeps the title dream alive. Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson echoed the sentiment, noting that a perfect run in the final three league games would force City to chase title on goal difference alone. Arsenal now sit in a position to clinch the crown this season and secure trophy.
