Arsenal with real momentum at the moment. This will be a sixth win out of seven in all comps. Sunderland and Everton to come at the Emirates. Liverpool end with Middlesbrough at home, so there's a lot on that match on Sunday v West Ham.
86'
Arsenal still pouring forward. Butland forced into action once more with Walcott threatening to get in on the act.
85'
As it stands, Arsenal will be a point behind fourth-placed Liverpool with just two matches to play. Lots of pressure on the Reds ahead o their trip to West Ham tomorrow.
