Arsenal are fierce in performance, bringing on their best this season. We underestimate Arsenal because they have failed in the past and there current performance is nothing new but comparable as their previous stats. Mikel Arteta is incharge but it will take lengthy time before we'll be watching Arsenal winning and lifting major titles and bringing home to Emirate stadium. The Gunners will continue to strive because there's definitely no room for reluctant performance.
It's natural that there are some people who still doubt that Arsenal's performance last season will be carried over to this season, but it seems that this speculation can be immediately dismissed with good performances in every match. Currently, Arsenal is also at the top of the standings, even though their number of points is still the same as Liverpool and the only difference is in goals in that case.
This week Arsenal will play Aston Villa and in my opinion it is possible that Arsenal will lose points in this match. I mean, it's impossible for Arsenal to lose, but if the result is a draw, Liverpool and Manchester City will benefit greatly, especially since Liverpool will only face Crystal Palace and Manchester City will face a weak team in the relegation zone, namely Luton.
It is certain that Arsenal's competitors will get 3 points easily and Arsenal will face quite a tough challenge. However, I am quite optimistic that the Gunners can still win considering their home winning record is also quite good when facing Aston Villa at home.
