Is Mikel Arteta's Arsenal defence the best in Premier League history? Chelsea's record low of 15 goals conceded in 2004-05 could be under threat.

William Saliba, Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Martinelli all had various complaints after Sunday’s victory.

Don't look now, but Arsenal are passing each test with precision and now lead the Premier League by four points, while sitting six points ahead of Man City

It is Manchester City rather than Liverpool who are billed as Arsenal’s closest challengers.

Arsenal's defense are formidable but the signing of Eberechi Eze up front has made a real difference in tight games.
