It seems as if Mikel Arteta is as surprised as the rest of us, but sooner or later a good start will turn into a genuine title opportunity.
Arsenal went into the World Cup break with a five point lead, owing to a shock Manchester City defeat at home to Brentford and their own win at Wolves.
Arteta has seen his side win 12 of their 14 league games thus far, beating the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham in the process.
