Arsenal will move six points clear of Manchester City if they beat Fulham in their home game next week, though City will have two games in hand.
That is because City were playing Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday and are not back in league action until 4 May, when they play Everton.
Having that buffer of points by the time of City play would be a huge boost for Arteta's side.
According to Opta, Arsenal have a 72.44% chance of lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of the season, with City on 27.56%.
"Arsenal have given absolutely everything on that pitch," former Crystal Palace and Brighton striker Glenn Murray said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "You can't question their fight."
Arsenal are without a major trophy since the FA Cup triumph of 2020, which came in Mikel Arteta's first season in charge.
And captain Martin Odegaard said the effort the players put in is because every member of the team is doing what they can to get over the line.
