Arsenal are top of the Premier League table at the halfway point of the season. Mikel Arteta's side are five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City and could go eight points clear if they win their game in hand.
The Gunners saw off Erik ten Hag's in-form Manchester United side at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, with goals from Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka ensuring a 3-2 win. A first-half Marcus Rashford strike and a Lisandro Martinez header was not enough to stop Arsenal's title charge.
“Extraordinary,” Arteta replied when asked on his thoughts on the first half of the campaign. “It doesn’t get much better than that. We deserved the points that we have. I think we have played well enough to win most of the matches."
