One bookmaker has already paid out for bets on Arsenal to win the league after they moved onto 50 points from 19 games with a dramatic and enthralling 3-2 victory over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The win re-opened a five point gap to second placed Manchester City, though the Gunners still have a game in hand.
Mikel Arteta's men have been without a doubt the best side so far this season and have only failed to win three matches, losing to United in the reverse fixture and drawing with Newcastle and Southampton. However, with half the season left to go they still have to play last year's champions twice.
It is the two matches against Manchester City that fans and pundits now expect to decide the title, especially with one of those games coming up in the next month. Arsenal also face Pep Guardiola's men in the FA Cup next weekend.
