Arsenal dropped off the Premier League summit with Wednesdays 3-1 loss to Man City at Emirates Stadium; defeat extended winless run to three games and left ...

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ivan Toney physically dominated them for Everton and Brentford, and the same was true of Erling Haaland on Wednesday night. Arsenal's total of 16 line-up changes is the lowest in the division. At the other, a collective wavering of concentration levels which is resulting in uncharacteristic defensive errors such as the ones that proved so costly against City. He is also capable of playing anywhere across the front line. His missed chances against City betrayed a dip in confidence and, more significantly, Arsenal's collective threat has gone the same way. Arsenal have dropped more points in three Premier League games than they did in the previous 19. Arteta spoke of the "marathon" that still lies ahead in his press conference on Wednesday night. Privately, though, he will accept the potentially huge significance of how Arsenal respond at Villa Park. Together, though, the results comprise a significant blip. In addition to their decreased productivity in attack, there has been a dramatic increase in the number and quality of chances they are giving up to their opponents at the other end of the pitch. "The most important thing is how we are tomorrow," said Mikel Arteta. Anything less would extend Arsenal's winless run to four Premier League games, causing alarm bells to ring louder.

It's an important day at the top and bottom of the Premier League. Get the latest news with Barry Glendenning.

Elsewhere, Brentford host out-of-sorts Crystal Palace, strugglers Bournemouth travel to Wolves looking for their first win in eight league excursions and two of this season’s surprise packages meet at the Amex Stadium, where Brighton take on Fulham. It was a big result for Sabri Lamouchi’s side, who move five points clear of the relegation zone, albeit having played two games more than each of the only four teams below them in the table. The offer comes with a promise to load no debt on the club and to redevelop the club’s infrastructure. In the second minute of added time, the Italian international fired a long-range effort off the cross-bar, only to see it bounce down and ricochet over the line off the beaten Emi Martinez’s head. Championship: A couple of early goals in the second tier’s three o’clock kick-offs. Premier League: With almost half an hour gone, the wait for a top flight goal goes on as far as our three o’clock kick-offs are concerned.

Manchester City were tearing cockneys apart again at the Emirates, home of Arsenal, where the blues secured all three points in a 1-3 win.

It’s a welcome sight as I feel Dias’ leadership is vital to Manchester City and what comes for the rest of the season. For me it’s no coincidence Manchester City have started to resemble themselves again with Dias leadership back in the starting 11. Jack has been outstanding of late, and it was great to see him rewarded with such a crucial goal. He didn’t give them a moment’s rest, and was unfortunate not to earn a penalty by being caught marginally offside in the build up in the 58th minute. City came to the Emirates knowing a win would be massive and could potentially shape the rest of the season. Bernardo did play on the edge, as he does when he’s at his best and was probably fortunate not to get booked earlier then he did.

Manchester City miss the opportunity to return to the top of the Premier League as Chris Wood's late goal earns Nottingham Forest a point.

Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest) left footed shot from very close range to the bottom left corner. Jack Grealish (Manchester City) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked. That was the plan - just to stay in the game and get one moment," he added. Attempt blocked. Rúben Dias (Manchester City) header from the centre of the box is blocked. - Away6 - Shots There was no shame City had the ball as much as they did. "It was a really good game," Guardiola told Match of the Day. "We know that's not acceptable. "I'm not blaming anyone," Walker told Match of the Day. "We've dropped two points here," said Walker.

A Chris Wood equaliser in the closing stages saw Nottingham Forest draw 1-1 with Man City in the Premier League at the City Ground.

It was the perfect way for Man City to go in at half-time and their dominance continued in the second half. With six minutes to play, Johnson ran forward and laid off to Gibbs-White and his square pass was tapped in by Despite having plenty of ball and territory, City were only able to muster shots off target in the first half an hour. The Premier League champions started the game with more than 90% possession and Forest were penned in their own penalty area. It was more of the same in the second half, but City spurned many chances. [Paul Singh](https://www.besoccer.com/writer/psingh94)10 hours ago 2.5k [Man City](https://www.besoccer.com/team/manchester-city-fc)'s title hopes took a major hit after drawing with Nottingham Forest in a game they dominated from start to finish.

Arsenal will play their reverse fixture against Manchester City on April 27, towards the end of the season.

City ended up winning the season with 86 points, and the Reds finished second on 84. Conclusively, the two-horse race for the Premier League has always turned out in City’s favour. In a matter of four match weeks, they ended up losing the three-point gap. The stalemate ended their title hopes. They succumbed to the pressure and ended up losing the fixture 2-1. City finished with 98, whereas Liverpool with 97, failed to end the 30-year Premier League trophy drought. City got away with a point, and the title, eventually. Again, four seasons back, Liverpool and City were contesting fairly for the title. That game between the modern rivals, ended in a 2-2 draw. Eventually, City were able to retain the title for the second successive year, when midfielder Ilkay Gundogan scored against Aston Villa, to give his side a 3-2 lead in the dying minutes. The second half of the season fixtures are into consideration, to evaluate whether that particular game, made all the difference until the end or not. Arsenal had 64 per cent possession against Manchester City, but still, they ended up losing the game 1-3.

Nottingham Forest delivered another twist in the English Premier League title race as Chris Wood's late goal earned a 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

The striker had another go from the second rebound but was even worse with that attempt, firing over from inside the six-yard box. City had beaten Arsenal 3-1 on Wednesday but handed the advantage right back. Navas spilled Foden’s shot from the edge of the area and the Norwegian looked prime to score the rebound, but he hit the crossbar.

Kyle Walker has urged City to improve after being held to a 1-1 Premier League draw by Nottingham Forest.

"If we want to compete with teams near the top we need to win. "Sometimes it's football and sometimes it's emotion.

City’s loss against Leeds United marked the first time since April 2021 that they failed to defeat a newly-promoted team in the top division; until to Saturday’s tie, they had won nine straight such contests. After Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest, Manchester City’s chances of winning the Premier League suffered a hit. The Norwegian appeared to have a good chance to score after his own shot rebounded against the crossbar, but he got under the rebound attempt and sent the ball into the stands. The only disappointment in an outstanding first-half performance was that City was unable to score more than once to make their domination count.

Southampton remain bottom of the table, but tightened things up in the relegation battle as they stunned Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. The game was effectively over in the 22nd minute when home keeper, Nick Pope lost his footing and handled outside of his area to deny Mohamed Salah. The drama came in injury time when Jorginho’s powerful shot bounced back off the crossbar and rebounded off Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez to end up in the back of the net.

Arsenal´s 4-2 win at Aston Villa earlier on Saturday had moved them back to the top of the table at City´s expense.

"I don´t know, it looks like the last man (Haaland) went to the keeper and fell down. At this level you have to score and that is why we dropped points," he said. "The first half should already be 2-0 or 3-0, we conceded one shot on target and we dropped points.

Arsenal news: Manchester City sold left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko to the Gunners and now face a significant problem in that position.

Bernardo joining attacks as an extra player and playing the inverted role helps City in possession but Arsenal and Forest have both managed to exploit his defensive naivety. "He's playing in midfield but in Man City's defensive shape he goes into the left-back position. Against Aston Villa and Arsenal, Guardiola has deployed Bernardo Silva in the position to varying effect.
