“Nothing” is what Mikel Arteta said the significance of Arsenal’s nine-point advantage at the top of the Premier League is—but the last time the north Londoners held such a lead, they not only became champions but made history by becoming ‘Invincible.’
That, of course, was during the 2003–04 season. Arsène Wenger’s side didn’t lose a single one of their 38 league games, winning 26 and drawing 12 to end the campaign with 90 points, and finished 11 clear of Chelsea in second and 15 ahead of defending champions Manchester United in third.
