In the most recent round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat Wolves 2-0 away. Meanwhile, Man City lost 1-2 at home to Brentford. With this result, the Gunners have widened the gap with the second-placed team, Man City, to 5 points.
Now, experts have truly judged Arsenal as the leading candidate for the Premier League title this season. The London side are playing extremely well in both attack and defence. Arsenal have the second best attack in the Premier League (33, only behind Man City) and the most solid defense in the league (11 goals conceded, equal to Newcastle United).
Arsenal have now won 12, drawn one and lost just one against MU in 14 games. Jamie Redknapp recently pointed out the reason for Arsenal's lead in the Premier League, the former Tottenham player highly appreciated the Emirates' defense. He said:
Arsenal are in really good form, they play confidently and maintain great stability. There are many reasons for Mikel Arteta's transformation for his team, and I think the biggest mark is in the defense. Last week, William Saliba received praise for his excellent performance against Chelsea.
In the game against Wolves, Saliba didnt really stand out but Gabriel supported him a lot. It is always a good sign when a player is in trouble, and his partner can fill the void. Arsenal's defense is the real strength behind their success."
