Boss Arteta has previously cited timing as a reason for Arsenal having not won the Premier League since he took charge in 2019. In May he pointed out Liverpool won the Premier League last season with fewer points than the Gunners had managed in the previous two campaigns. But the timing seems right for them this term, with their strong run of form coming while their rivals have faltered. Liverpool made an exceptional start with five Premier League wins in a row, but have now lost their last four games. Manchester City, meanwhile, have been relatively inconsistent with five wins, three losses and a draw so far. While Arsenal fans may start to believe, none of the teams who have been top at this stage have gone on to win the title in the past six seasons. "Arsenal are reliable, you can trust them," former Manchester United defender Gary Neville said on Sky Sports. "This is your title, Arsenal. I've never really felt that sure before, it's so early in the season, but it really is [yours]. "That's not being overconfident, or placing pressure. Arsenal must feel it themselves. This is the moment Arsenal can get back to [winning the title]. The chance is there for them; they have to take it."
