Arsenal's harsh critic makes major u-turn as Mikel Arteta inspires Premier League title talk

Arsenal have come under heavy criticism in the past for being 'too soft' and easy to play against from a number of critics.

Mikel Arteta's side currently sit top of the Premier League table by a single point heading into the international break after winning six out of seven games. The Gunners lead the charge with rivals Manchester City and Tottenham close on their tail, taking advantage of poor starts from Liverpool and Chelsea.

Summer signing Gabriel Jesus has been a revelation in attack for Arteta's side, scoring four goals and providing a further three assists so far, sharing the attacking responsibility with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal look a changed side to the past as a blend of youth and experience now sees the north London outfit putting up an early fight for a Premier League title challenge heading into a busy month of fixtures starting with the north London derby.
