Arsenal are right in the Premier League title race this season. With two more matches until the Premier League takes a break for the World Cup, the Gunners could sit proudly atop the pile heading into the big tournament in Qatar this winter.
Mikel Arteta's side have a two-point cushion over Manchester City in second place and know that two more wins before the break will ensure they are top of the table at Christmas. And that, in normal seasons, is an enviable place to be, although much this year will depend on what happens during the World Cup and the fitness of the players in the run-in.
Things will not be easy though, with trips to London rivals Chelsea and Wolves to come before the break for the World Cup. And they have already had to overcome an expected points deficit to lead their rivals.
