Former Liverpool goalkeeper David James has insisted Arsenal remain favourites to win the Premier League, despite losing 2-1 to Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Gunners conceded a late winner scored by Emi Buendia, after Leandro Trossard cancelled out Matty Cashs opener.
Hours later, Manchester City closed the gap at the top to two points, with a 3-0 victory over Sunderland.
