Four games, four wins, one goal conceded
Arsenal after four rounds of the Premier League impress not just with their results but with the manner of their performances. The Gunners beat Coventry 3:0, Sunderland 2:0, won the north London derby against Chelsea 2:1 and defeated Nottingham Forest. One goal conceded in four matches — the hallmark of a mature, well-organised defence.
Wirtz and Isak — the partnership of the season?
Florian Wirtz, the summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen for over £100 million, already looks like one of the best players in the league after just four rounds. His partnership with Isak is outstanding — Alexander Isak has three goals in four matches and is joint top scorer. Wirtz is delivering assists and goals, playing fast and creatively, and he is still warming up. This could be the partnership of the season.
Squad depth as a key weapon
Arteta has one of the deepest squads in Arsenal's history. Saka, Havertz, Martinelli, Odegaard — any one of them could start for any club in the Premier League. That allows rotation without any drop in quality and ensures freshness throughout the season. Title rivals Manchester City have the same number of points, but Arsenal have a better goal difference and better defensive numbers. The title race promises to be thrilling.
