Arsenal have enjoyed a stellar 2022/23 campaign so far.
Mikel Arteta's side currently sit on top of the Premier League table, eight points clear of Manchester City in second with just nine games to play, albeit City have ten. The Gunners have accrued 72 points from their first 29 league fixtures, a points tally that has only been bettered five times in Premier League history.
But that still hasn't stopped some fans and pundits alike from criticising the state of the English top flight, with some claiming that this is one of the easier seasons to challenge for a title considering Liverpool and Chelsea have struggled, sitting eighth and eleventh in the standings respectively. These claims have now been rubbished by Arteta, who has hinted that this is the highest level he has ever seen the league.
