Arsenal news: Gabriel Jesus return boost as Antonio Conte makes intriguing Gunners prediction

Here is your morning Arsenal digest on Monday, March 13.

Five-point lead restored

Arsenal restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table yesterday with a 3-0 win over Fulham.

First-half goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard set the Gunners on their way to a 21st league win of the season.

As well as a valuable three points, Mikel Arteta was handed a boost for the rest of the season with the return of Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian had been sidelined with a knee injury since November and came on in the 77th-minute.

Willian admission

Fulham winger Willian has admitted he wished he never left Chelsea for Arsenal back in the summer of 2020.

"Yeah. I wish I’d never left. Yeah," he told Sky Sports when asked if he had any regrets about leaving Stamford Bridge.

"Of course, it’s easy to say something now, but when I stop to think about the whole situation then yeah, I say to myself I wish I’d never left. But it’s life. I’m happy now at Fulham - enjoying myself there, so this is life.”

Conte's prediction

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has backed Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United to finish as the Premier League's top three this season.

Speaking after Spurs beat Nottingham Forest 3-1, Conte said: “Yeah, but you know very well the race for a place in Champions League will be really, really tough because you see the competitors.

"You see there are many, many teams involved and I think in this moment there is only one place available because City and Arsenal they are fighting to win the Premier League and United I think they are showing they have great continuity of good results."
