Premier League leaders Arsenal will hope to at least maintain their advantage at the top of the table when they face London rivals Brentford on Thursday.
The Gunners beat Sunderland 3-0 at The Emirates on Saturday, extending their lead at the top of the standings to six points.
Manager Mikel Arteta will be desperate to see his side continue their winning run, having seen his side finish second in the Premier League in each of the past three seasons.
In the build up to their visit to Brentford, it has emerged that Arsenal are battling one of their biggest rivals in the race to sign a Premier League star.
According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Manchester United are battling it out in the race to sign Everton star Iliman Ndiaye.
As well as United and Arsenal, both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be monitoring the Senegal international, who is enjoying an impressive season for the Toffees.

Ndiaye has scored four goals in 19 Premier League matches for David Moyes’ side so far this term, primarily impressing in a role on the right flank.
The 25-year-old joined Everton from French side Marseille back in 2024, having previously spent time in England with Sheffield United.
Since joining the Merseyside outfit, Ndiaye has scored 15 goals in 58 games across all competitions, as well as registering two assists.
While Ndiaye is said to have acknowledged interest from elsewhere, the Senegalese attacker has also reiterated his commitment to Everton.
The forward is under contract at Everton until the end of the 2028/29 season, and the report suggests that the Toffees would demand a fee in the region of £55-65 million if they were to allow the player to depart The Hill Dickinson Stadium.
