Premier League title race all but over as Arsenal take firm grip.
Arsenal have finally found themselves in a position where the Premier League title is within their grasp, and their rivals are struggling to keep up. After spending almost 800 days at the top of the table, Mikel Arteta's side has shown resilience and determination that may prove crucial in the remainder of the season. Despite a hefty transfer outlay of over £250m, Arteta has assembled a formidable squad capable of coping with injuries to key players like Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard.
The Gunners' meagre defence, once a source of concern, has been transformed into a fortress in recent games, conceding just three goals in 13 matches across all competitions. The team's spine is strong, with William Saliba and Gabriel forming an unbreakable partnership that has stifled opposition attacks. While the likes of Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot are always capable of delivering, their teams have been stuttering due to inconsistencies.
Arsenal's ability to stay ahead of the pack will be tested as they navigate a challenging fixture list in November. League trips to Burnley, Sunderland, and Chelsea, coupled with Champions League dates against Slavia Prague and Bayern Munich, could prove hazardous if they fail to maintain their momentum. Even Liverpool, who have been struggling, are not out of the title contention yet.
The question remains whether Arsenal can sustain their form over the remainder of the season, particularly when it comes to scoring from open play. Viktor Gyökeres's goal drought has raised concerns about the team's attacking depth, but Arteta has managed to find solutions with players like Eberechi Eze and Martín Zubimendi.
In contrast, City are in transition mode due to injuries and Haaland's prolific form can only take them so far. Chelsea lack consistency, while Tottenham have been struggling at home. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have a great chance of Champions League qualification, leaving Manchester United as the most unpredictable factor in the title race.
While it's still early days, Arsenal appear to be in an extremely strong position to claim their first Premier League title since 2004. Their defensive solidity means that they only need to score once to win, and their exceptional ability from set pieces makes them a formidable opponent.
As the season progresses, we will see if Arsenal can maintain their grip on the title, or if one of their rivals manages to mount a remarkable comeback. For now, it's clear that the Premier League title race is all but over – and Arsenal are at the forefront.

! The Gunners are back in business, and I think they've got a real shot at that first Premier League title since 2004 
. Their squad looks solid, even with some big transfer outlays, and that defence is looking like a wall 
. Arteta's made some smart signings to address the goal drought too, so hopefully Viktor Gyökeres can get back on form 
.
. Chelsea are struggling for consistency, and Spurs are just not scoring enough 
. Liverpool might mount a comeback, but I think Arsenal have the momentum going into November 
. If they can keep it up, there's no way anyone's taking that title away from them 
!
. i mean, 2004 was a long time ago and they thought they could do it back then too 
. anyways, still fun to watch them try and not completely embarrass themselves 
. but can they actually finish the season strong? only time will tell 
.
. Think about it, Arteta has been spending all this money on transfers and suddenly he's got a team that can hang with the best? It's just too convenient. And what about Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard getting injured at the same time? Coincidence? I don't think so 
. It's like they're trying to create a narrative where Arsenal are this unstoppable force, while the other teams are struggling. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola is quietly building his team for a potential comeback 
. Don't be surprised when it all falls apart and Arsenal realize they've been playing with fire 
. The transfer budget was HUGE, like £250m huge! But he's managed to assemble a team that can win big games. Their defense is solid 
, and their midfield is so strong 
. I love how they're playing to each other, it's like a well-oiled machine 
.
Viktor Gyökeres has been quiet for too long, but Arteta seems to have an answer to that problem 
. The team's confidence must be sky high right now 
, and I think they're going to make a real push for the title.
, and Chelsea just can't seem to get consistent performances 
But we'll see how they handle the tough fixtures coming up 
.
Their star player may be away on international duty but they have so much depth to their squad that even Haaland's absence isn't going to hold them back. Plus, Arteta's side can be quite unpredictable at times... 
And don't even get me started on that fixture list in November – Arsenal are going to struggle big time against Burnley, Sunderland, and Chelsea. 
Still, I suppose only time will tell... 
and their ability to score from set pieces is so underrated. im not saying anyone else can catch up, but its gonna be super hard for them to lose the title now 
️ they've finally sorted out their defence and now they're looking solid 
also gotta wonder if Pep Guardiola's team will kick into gear soon, arsenal's lead is getting a bit comfortable
