Arsenal have made their best start to a Premier League season in years, sitting top with nine wins from ten games played and with a four-point gap to second. While pre-season discussion was firmly centred around a return to the top four, their form has made many discuss them as title contenders.
"It can be a special year if we keep going like we are working at the moment, we can get something big," midfielder Granit Xhaka told the Daily Mail earlier this month. "Of course [Arsenal can win the title]. We have to believe in ourselves. If not, why are we playing?"
It shows that despite manager Mikel Arteta playing coy on their chances of winning the Premier League this season, there is a growing confidence in their ability to challenge. It's ramping up game by game, with every opponent they're knocking down on their path.
