Arsenal's players aren't getting ahead of themselves despite recording a remarkable 50 points from the first half of the season. The 3-2 win against Manchester United added the gloss to what was already a spectacular rise for Mikel Arteta's men.
It took the Gunners 27 games to reach the same tally last season and they are already just 19 points off their entire haul from last term too. They have only dropped points in three matches and got revenge for their controversial 3-1 loss at Old Trafford earlier this season.
Newcastle and Southampton are the only other teams to stop them. It leaves Arsenal five clear at the top of the table with a game in hand over Manchester City. The vital cog in all of this is that Pep Guardiola's side still have the chance to recoup six points as the two sides face each other twice later in the season.
