Arsenal have solidified their spot at the top of the Premier League table with a commanding victory over Burnley . First-half goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice secured another three points for Mikel Arteta's team. They are now six points clear of Manchester City in second and seven points ahead of reigning champions Liverpool in third, as the Gunners look to end a 21-year title drought. City and Liverpool are both coming off the back of big wins , but for the North London giants, all they can do is keep defeating the teams they face. The latest victory over Burnley marks their fifth consecutive league win and Arsenal are understandably favourites for the title after 10 games, but there are still plenty of matches left to play - 28 in total. With this in mind, here's a detailed look at the next five fixtures for Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, reports Football London . Next weekend sees Arsenal back on the road against a newly-promoted team, but their match against Sunderland promises to be much more competitive, given Sunderland's fine start to the season, which has left them a strong seventh in the table. Following the international break, it's back-to-back London derbies as the Gunners face off against Tottenham and Chelsea - two difficult fixtures against teams that will be desperate to halt Arsenal's title charge. Tottenham are in fifth and Chelsea in sixth. Arsenal will always be confident of beating Spurs at home, but a journey to Stamford Bridge looks a tricky one on paper. The season's first midweek league match then sees Arsenal host midtable Brentford in yet another all-London clash, before they head up to another midtable outfit, Aston Villa , a few days later. Arsenal did beat the Midlanders at Villa Park last season, but a draw against them at the Emirates in the return fixture proved damaging, with former Gunners manager Unai Emery in the home dugout. Emery is a shrewd tactician - as was shown in Villa's recent 1-0 win over Manchester City. Manchester City, fresh off a 3-1 win at home to Bournemouth, host Liverpool in their final game before a fortnight off for the international break. This title six-pointer could have a huge impact on the destination of the title, with the home side hoping Erling Haaland will keep up his phenomenal form in front of goal against Virgil van Dijk and co. A challenging trip to Newcastle is on the schedule next for the Citizens, where a win has to be the priority as Arsenal and Liverpool have already claimed maximum points there. Pep Guardiola's team then host newly promoted Leeds United, before taking on Fulham at Craven Cottage, then hosting Sunderland at the Emirates. Liverpool kick off their run of next five games with the daunting trip to face City, who they beat at the Etihad for the first time in nine years in February en route to winning the title. Next after that is a home game against struggling Nottingham Forest - who beat the Reds in a shock result at Anfield last season. In three perhaps more straightforward fixtures Arne Slot's side then travel to struggling West Ham , before they host Sunderland and face Leeds away.
