Arsenal have established a five point lead at the top of the Premier League table after ten matches, raising suggestions that they could run away with the title this season. Although there are still around 28 games remaining, Mikel Arteta’s side have made an impressive start and already look capable of maintaining their advantage.

Arteta is building one of the strongest Arsenal teams seen in recent years, with the Gunners determined to establish a period of sustained success. Their performances so far have given supporters plenty of reasons to believe that the club can remain at the top of English football for the foreseeable future.

Arsenal are keen to build on their recent achievements and turn their current position into another successful campaign. Their rivals have struggled to find consistency, which has allowed Arsenal to create some distance at the summit.

Arsenal have made an impressive start

The Gunners have shown that they can compete consistently, and their early season form has placed them in a strong position. However, with a significant portion of the campaign still to come, Arteta will know that his players cannot afford to become complacent.

Arsenal will be hoping to maintain their winning momentum and avoid the difficulties that could allow their closest competitors to close the gap. Their current advantage provides encouragement, but they must continue delivering performances at the same level if they are to turn their promising start into another title-winning campaign.

There is also the possibility of securing the championship earlier than they did last season. Rather than waiting until the closing stages to confirm their success, the Gunners could aim to establish an unassailable advantage well before the campaign reaches its conclusion.

Redknapp backs Arsenal to run away with the title

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Arsenal are considerably stronger than their competitors and expects them to maintain their advantage. Speaking about their title chances via Caught Offside, he said:

“I don’t really see anything else other than Arsenal running away with this title at the moment.

“I know it’s really early but I just think they’re so much better than everyone else in every single area.”

Redknapp’s assessment reflects the confidence surrounding Arsenal after their excellent opening to the campaign. Nevertheless, Arteta’s players still have many matches to negotiate, and maintaining their standards will be essential if they are to secure the title and build the sustained success they desire.
