Wolves 0-2 Arsenal: 3 talking points from the win at Molineux
By Kenneth Daly
#3: Arsenal are genuine title contenders
Scepticism continues to linger among fans and pundits alike and many still expect sky-blue ribbons to adorn the Premier League trophy next May, but it cannot be denied any longer: Arsenal are genuine title contenders.
Suggestions that we will be more keenly affected by the World Cup than other teams appear illogical, while talk of favourable fixtures and the potential impact of key injuries are unfair. The Gunners are currently the league’s standout team and have contended with both squad absences- such as Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko earlier this season- and difficult matches on their journey to first place.
The truth is that we are top because we now have a fantastic team led by an exceptional coach, and the club is reaping the rewards of three years of hard work, meticulous planning and unwavering faith in Mikel Arteta.
There will of course be twists and turns to come and moments of adversity will have to be navigated. But this team is performing at a very high level and, with hopefully some investment in January, has every chance of title success.
