Arsenal Extend Premier League Cushion as Debate Swings Their Way

Analysts now point to superior depth and defensive control as the edge in a still-early race.

Overview

  • After 10 matches, Arsenal hold a six-point lead over Manchester City and are seven ahead of Liverpool following a 2-0 win over Burnley.
  • Gary Neville says Liverpool are the only side likely to stop Arsenal and rules out City as credible challengers at this stage.
  • Pep Guardiola says Arsenal "look unstoppable" but insists City can reel them in if more players contribute goals beyond Erling Haaland.
  • Arsenal’s form is underpinned by numbers, including a record tally of set-piece goals through 10 league games and just one shot on target conceded across their last four.
  • Pressure narratives intensify around Mikel Arteta as Tony Cascarino claims failure to win the league could cost him his job, while Liverpool ended a four-game skid by beating Aston Villa to move third.
