Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has picked out three Arsenal players he believes have been key in the start that Mikel Arteta's side have made this season. The Gunners currently sit top of the Premier League after eight games, winning seven of those with just one defeat.
The latest victory came in the North London Derby over Tottenham, where goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka inflicted a first defeat on their rivals. While building a four-point gap on Spurs, it also kept Arsenal setting the pace in the division with just one point separating them and Manchester City.
It has led to many questioning if they are in the Premier League title picture for the season, with a few other sides also making a slow start to their campaign. Despite that, Arteta has been coy on such talk, saying: "I'll leave that [title talk] to you guys honestly. We just started, and we're really happy with where we are. We understand that you can't control it because emotion is related. The table says what it says, and we don't look at that."
