Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has hailed the influence of three new Gunners' players as Mikel Arteta's men gear up for the season's final furlong while sitting top of the league.
The Gunners are eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City, but have also played one game more than Pep Guardiola's side. Arsenal will be desperate to keep City at arm's length as they aim to end their 19-year wait for a league title this term, but know a trip to the Etihad awaits next month.
Plenty can change between now and the end of the season, but Arsenal have certainly made significant strides and look a world away from the team that capitulated at the back end of last term.
