Granit Xhaka has been a huge part of Arsenal's rapid rise to the top of the Premier League table with Mikel Arteta's side five points clear of Manchester City. The Gunners have won 12 of their 14 league games, with Xhaka featuring in every game and only not competing the full 90 minutes on three occasions.
With just one defeat in the league this season that came against Man United, the Gunners deservedly sit at the Premier League's summit with their attacking quartet of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard in fine form all contributing to a number of Arsenal goals this campaign.
At the other end of the pitch, William Saliba has been imperious in the back four, while the midfield pairing of Xhaka and Thomas Partey has provided Arteta with the perfect midfield balance both offensively and defensively.
