The £55m reason why Arsenal are ahead of Tottenham in the Premier League table

With the transfer window now closed, everyone will have their squad that will take them until January - barring the odd acquisition of free agents and deals involving countries whose transfer windows remain open for a little longer- meaning focus once again turns to coaching and getting the most out of those players. For some sides, it will be key in getting them to where they want to be come the end of the season.

For Arsenal and Tottenham, they have made a quick start to life back in the Premier League. The Gunners lead the way currently, registering five wins and one loss from their opening six fixtures and are finally starting to see a return on their investment in Mikel Arteta's project.

For Spurs, they're right behind with four wins and two draws from their first six, with Antonio Conte finding a way for his side to win with his experience and mentality of doing so. Both clubs fought it out for a place in the top four in 2021/22, with the Lilywhites winning that fight in the final few games to make a return to the Champions League.
