After falling short in the last few seasons and earning the title of the ‘Kings of Runner-Up,’ Arsenal are now sitting on top of the Premier League with a six-point cushion. Is this finally their year?

Top of the league

As we roll into Matchweek 13 of the Premier League, Arsenal have shockingly stormed their way to the top of the table. Arteta’s squad sits on 29 points, built from 9 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 defeat. Their closest chaser? Chelsea, with six points behind.

This impressive run comes from a mix of rock-solid consistency and real squad depth. Sure, it also helps that their usual rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool, are having far-from-perfect seasons. But credit where it’s due to several Arsenal stars have been on fire, from Bukayo Saka, William Saliba to Jurrien Timber.

”Not only sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League, but the London giants are also ruling their Champions League group. They’ve just taken down Bayern Munich 3–1, handing a team with a perfect record their first real punch of the season.”

Is this gonna be their season?

Arsenal’s chances of lifting trophy this season are wide open. But Martin Ødegaard and co. can’t afford to lose focus, because we’re not even at the halfway line yet. They still have to survive the chaos of Boxing Day and face their toughest rivals to prove their quality.

Truth is, The Gunners have been in this position before over the past few seasons. Fans are hoping this time they don’t bottle and drop points when the finish line starts coming into view. It’s been more than two decades since they last won the Premier League.

”’And maybe, just maybe, this is the moment they’ve been waiting for a long-long time.”

Will Mikel Arteta bring the glory back to The Gunners?
