Arsenal head into the mid-season break for the Qatar 2022 World Cup top of the Premier League, earning 37 points after 14 matches played. It means the Gunners will be at the summit at Christmas for the first time since 2007, while also registering their best start to a season.
They confirmed that status with a huge 2-0 win over Wolves at the weekend, made even bigger by the fact that rivals Manchester City lost to Brentford earlier in the day. It means the side now have a five point gap to second place, heading into the break in even more positive fashion.
"It’s great to be where we are and we are enjoying that moment," Mikel Arteta said in review of the season so far. "Now we have a big break and we have to reflect on what we’re doing and be prepared for after the World Cup. Our aim is to play better as a team every day, to have better tools to do what we want to do. I can say it’s been phenomenal to work with these players and staff."
