Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal seem to be striking a chord on the pitch with three wins in three, including last night’s impressive home win over Manchester City.
The club’s improving form has moved them within two points of league leaders Leicester City and they are quickly becoming the bookmakers’ favourites for the title.
