Manchester City Still the Favourites Despite Arsenal's Win

With Leicester City not playing until Monday, the Gunners knew three points would take them to the top of the league, and they achieved that fairly comfortably at Villa Park.

Olivier Giroud opened the scoring from the penalty spot early on with his 14th goal of the season, before Aaron Ramsey coolly finished a lovely counter-attacking move.

With the top sides all dropping points with alarming regularity this season, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said in Friday's press conference the league could be won with fewer than 80 points. 

That could well be the case, with Sky Sports News HQ revealing this season to thus far be particularly low-scoring points-wise:

Arsenal supporter and shareholder, journalist Piers Morgan, believes it represents the perfect opportunity for the Gunners to take the title:

Though Arsenal stayed ahead of Manchester City in the table, the Sky Blues remain the favourites to win the league after their late win at home to Swansea City.

The Citizens took the lead through Wilfried Bony's header but were unable to kill off the game.

City looked in danger of throwing away two points when Bafetimbi Gomis snatched a 90th-minute equaliser, but Yaya Toure's fortuitously deflected shot in the 92nd minute spared their blushes—City striker Kelechi Iheanacho diverted the Ivorian's shot into the net.

Winning in such a fashion against resilient opposition is one of the hallmarks of champions—to grind out wins where others would fail.

There remains a big question mark over City's ability to defend without captain Vincent Kompany. Squawka Football reveals just how important he is to them:

Indeed, the title race could boil down to whether the Belgian can stay fit for the remainder of the season or not.

Far less suspect are Manchester United, but nevertheless, they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat away at Bournemouth courtesy of goals from Junior Stanislas and Josh King, with Marouane Fellaini scoring for the Red Devils.

Despite usually boasting an organised and resilient defence, United have been unable to consistently pick up three points each week and remain in touching distance of their rivals only because of their own inconsistency.

Given their strength at the back, shock defeats such as Saturday's tend to be the exception rather than the rule, though. If United boss Louis van Gaal can get the team firing again—either through recruitment in January, a change of system, or indeed both—they'll be a real force to contend with.

Getting through the busy Christmas slog will either make or break the contenders before they can dip into the market in January, though, so it's crucial they all continue to pick up points in the coming weeks.
