Arsenal now favourites to win Premier League title as Man City falter without Rodri

Arsenal are, for the first time this season, now favourites to win the Premier League title.

Two injury-time goals secured a 4-2 win over Leicester, after reigning champions Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at Newcastle.

The Gunners looked set to drop points like their title rivals after James Justin scored twice at the Emirates Stadium, only for Leandro Trossard's volley from a corner bouncing off Wilfred Ndidi for an own goal before Kai Havertz struck a fourth, moving them level with City on 14 points.

For City, Anthony Gordon celebrated his impending new contract early as he struck from the penalty spot to hold the champions at St James' Park. It was a concerning start to life without Rodri for City, with the midfielder this week ruled out for the season with a serious knee injury.

It means Arsenal have now been installed as favourites to win the Premier League this season in what would be their first title in 21 years.

Liverpool, who climbed to the top of the table with a 2-1 win over Wolves, after third favourites, ahead of more distant contenders Chelsea, Aston Villa, Manchester United and Tottenham.
