Is this the weekend Arsenal's title hopes go up in flames? Picture this: the Gunners won't play until Sunday, while Manchester City visits St. James's Park late on Saturday.

Welcome to the weekend. As always, we're here to look ahead to the weekend of Premier League football. It's a significant one this time around after Arsenal failed to win in midweek; is this the end of their title push?

One can successfully argue that the race is well and truly on with the Gunners still firmly in the race, but their failure to beat Wolves at the Molineux on Wednesday night has thrown their ambitions under the spotlight.

Who throws a two-goal lead away at a bottom club in the manner in which Arsenal did? How did they let in two goals despite how solid their defense is known to be? Are they caving in when it matters most?

Newcastle went to Qarabag and returned with a ticket to the Champions League round of 16. The 6-1 win away in Azerbaijan has ultimately confirmed that the Magpies will be playing in the second round of the tournament for the first time.

Is there a chance that Newcastle can earn anything from the game against Manchester City on Saturday? While we know anything can happen in football, it's hard to see how Manchester City will let this opportunity slip from their grasp.

Chelsea will host Burnley this weekend. It's a no-brainer. Can Burnley do a Wolves and earn something from the game? Liam Rosenior will be under immense pressure if his Chelsea side doesn't win on Saturday.

West Ham and Bournemouth at the London Stadium is a game of huge significance for both sides. The healing process of Bournemouth will meet the survival charge of the Hammers. Which of them will rise to the occasion on Saturday?

On Sunday, it will be the turn of Crystal Palace to face Wolves. The Eagles threw away a one-goal lead to settle for a draw in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night. Will they come to the party against Wolves?

All eyes will be on the North London Derby. Arsenal is under huge scrutiny right now following their embarrassing result in midweek; is there anything to hope for at the Tottenham Stadium for the Gunners?

Is this a free hit for Igor Tudor, who just joined as Spurs' new manager? Arsenal cannot afford another slip-up; no matter how they spin this, it's a season-defining game for Arsenal. Will Arsenal respond away at their rival's ground?
