Sanchez will be hoping to help Arsenal win their first Premier League title this season since their famous unbeaten triumph in 2003-04.

“The unity here between fans, club and players is enormous and the supporters have been fantastic”, he said. I think we’ll see another very attractive game on Sunday.

“Winning the league would be a dream come true”.

Sanchez is expected to return to the starting line-up for the title hopefuls’ home clash with strugglers Chelsea on Monday morning (AEDT) after more than two months out with a hamstring problem. “I don’t know if we are a contender at this moment”. It will not be easy but we can do it. “But maybe a tattoo”, he said.

“I am very surprised by Chelsea’s results this season and by the exit of Mourinho”, added Sanchez.

Elsewhere, Chelsea’s interim manager, Guus Hiddink, has praised Arsenal for the way they’ve stuck with Arsene Wenger through thick and thin. Valencia then gave West Ham a 2-1 lead but they failed to protect the advantage, allowing Aguero to tie the game anew in the 81st minute.

The Daily Mirror reports that Arsenal made a fresh-bid for Leicester City’s highly-rated full-back Ben Chilwell over the weekend, following up their interest from the summer where the Gunners saw a bid rejected.

Both sides overcame tricky tests to record impressive victories, while fellow title hopefuls Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United all slipped up. “So, it’s important we keep going”.
