Third-placed Leicester City, who are on 39 points, will go above Manchester United if they can beat Leeds United on Sunday.

After a disappointing first half, Arsenal came out strongly following the interval and Willian had a good chance in the 49th minute which was well blocked by Aaron Wan-Bissaka.


Alexandre Lacazette came closest to scoring for the Gunners with a 56th minute curling free kick that struck the bar.

Emile Smith Rowe forced a good save out of United keeper David De Gea with a low drive.

United, beaten at home by Sheffield United on Wednesday, created little until the final minute of normal time when Edinson Cavani volleyed wide from close range from Wan-Bissaka's cross.

United set a new club record of 18 away games unbeaten in the league while Arsenal, eighth on 31 points, have not lost since Christmas.
