Jamie Carragher has hailed Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba for transforming Arsenal into a team which can go "a lot closer" to winning the Premier League than "people give them credit for".
The Gunners are sitting pretty at the table's summit with a brilliant record of six wins from their opening seven games, including a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Brentford last time out. They lead defending champions Manchester City and local rivals Tottenham by one point ahead of the North London derby against the latter on Saturday.
Jesus has spearheaded the attack in his debut season at the Emirates, chipping in with four goals and three assists in seven league appearances following his £45million summer transfer from City. Saliba has been similarly impressive, establishing himself in Mikel Arteta's first-choice defence to help the Gunners record three clean sheets in the top flight.
