The Premier League resumes after a break from international games, with Arsenal's push for the first title in over two decades buoyed by a win in Europe. The team, which has a nine-point lead over Manchester City, will host Bournemouth on Saturday. Arsenal's victory over Sporting was a reminder of their resilience, following their first back-to-back defeats of the season. The push for Champions League places has eased slightly for Premier League clubs, with England securing a fifth spot in next season's competition after Arsenal's quarter-final win over Sporting. Meanwhile, struggling Tottenham Hotspur is set to play against Sunderland, with time running out to arrest their slide. Manchester United's upcoming meeting with Leeds United could help them consolidate a top-five spot under interim manager Michael Carrick.
