Arsenal have made a strong start to the current Premier League season, and their performances so far have placed them several points ahead of their closest rivals. While there are still many fixtures to be played, the Gunners’ early consistency has drawn attention and admiration across the football community.
Arsenal’s Position in the Title Race
At present, teams such as Bournemouth appear to have a greater chance of halting Arsenal’s progress than traditional title challengers like Manchester City or Liverpool. This unusual scenario highlights the remarkable start the Gunners have enjoyed, reflecting both tactical discipline and individual quality across the squad. Despite this advantage, it is clear that Arsenal players will need to remain focused and not allow early success to breed complacency.
The Premier League is renowned for its unpredictability, and form can shift rapidly from week to week. Arsenal’s ability to maintain concentration, manage pressure, and continue producing results will be critical if they are to sustain their challenge until the end of the season. While supporters may be optimistic, the team itself understands the necessity of patience and consistency, recognising that the campaign is far from over.
The Strengths Behind Arsenal’s Early Lead
Alan Shearer has highlighted key factors that could make it difficult for Arsenal’s rivals to close the gap this season. According to Metro Sports, he said, “The huge advantage Arsenal have over Liverpool, Man City and whoever else thinks they can challenge is the defence and the set-pieces. They’re in the driving seat because of they’re ability to just win a game even when they’re not playing well and that’s a result of the set-pieces and how good they are at the back.”
Defensive solidity and proficiency from set-piece situations have enabled Arsenal to secure vital points even in matches where the team has not performed at its best. This consistency has given the Gunners a platform to build upon, allowing them to capitalise on the occasional slip-ups of their competitors. The combination of a strong defensive foundation and the ability to turn key moments into decisive results could prove decisive in the title race.
While the season is still in its early stages, Arsenal’s start suggests that they have the quality and structure to maintain their challenge. The team will need to sustain focus, manage expectations, and continue performing under pressure to convert their promising start into a genuine opportunity to win the Premier League.

Gabriel Magalhães is key to many of the
set-pieces successes. His ability to get into position for headers is probably the best Arsenal have had since Andy Linighan.
in 2023 they were table top for 240 days.
Another important factor is that Arsenal is hungrier than the chasing pack

In first understanding in football is discipline, and comprehension of the players.

Conclusion I pray for injuries free though its part of the game, but must be three foure players in a row like before.
Gud luck Gunners for life win or lose but winning is my huby.
For me they’re on the right path. I will only add that Saka, Madueke and to a lesser degree Trossad should all be coached to the effect that they should be crossing the ball in to the box for Victor to attack. These players only start crossing the ball as they should when we are hard up and time is no longer on our side.
