Ninth win in a row, seventh straight clean sheet in all competitions. With Liverpool limping, after a great start before the defeats came in a row, Arsenal are proving themselves as worthy leaders in the Premier League. With Martin Ødegaard as captain and some perfect signings in recent seasons, Mikel Arteta has built a team machine that is no longer content with taking the “first loser’s spot”.
After the win against Burnley with goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice, the Gunners stand with an impenetrable defence, well on their way to challenging Chelsea’s impressive record of just 15 conceded in the 2004/05 season. Alan Shearer is mightily impressed by what Arsenal have delivered in the first 10 league rounds.

The highest scorer in Premier League history believes Arsenal are going all the way to the Premier League title this season.
“I can’t see any weakness,” Alan Shearer told BBC Sport.
Shearer wasn’t the only pundit to praise the Gunners after the Burnley game. Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onouha highlights the toughness the Arsenal team is now showing.
-In 2021, Arsenal’s biggest weakness was that they were a bit soft, you could almost bully them. Now you look at the way they can play. If it has to be a fight, then there will be a fight, says Onouha.

Gary Neville is also in the BBC studio, the United legend has in previous seasons criticized Arteta and the Arsenal players for being too inexperienced to do what it takes to win the Premier League. Not this season.
-Arsenal are reliable, you can trust them. This is their title, Arsenal. I’ve never felt so confident before, it’s so early in the season, but it’s really [theirs],” Neville boasted.
