Arsenal is increasingly firmly on the winning path Premier League 2025/2026. Mikel Arteta’s team not only leads the standings with a six-point advantage over Manchester City, but also shows a maturity in their game that makes them consistently achieve results, even when they don’t appear dominant. This stable performance marks Arsenal’s transformation from just a challenger to a serious candidate to win the title.
Arsenal’s success this season does not depend on just one factor. The combination of tactical intelligence, effectiveness at crucial moments, and squad depth forms a strong foundation The Gunners in the hunt for the first Premier League title since 2004. Here are five interesting facts that strengthen Arsenal’s chances of becoming champions.
1. Deadly Weapon Via Dead Ball
Arsenal emerged as one of the most dangerous teams in set piece situations. Until early February, the Gunners had scored 14 goals from set pieces in the 2025/2026 Premier League. A structured scheme of corner kicks and free balls allows Arsenal to win tight matches, while also showing their readiness to take advantage of the small details that often determine the title.
2. Game structures are increasingly mature
Under Arteta, Arsenal no longer relies on dominating open play. They appeared disciplined, defended compactly, and pressed their opponents in measured phases. This approach means Arsenal rarely concedes clean opportunities and is able to control the tempo of the match, both in the Premier League and Champions League.
3. New Recruits Have an Immediate Impact
Arsenal’s big spending in the summer transfer market is starting to bear fruit. The presence of Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres adds quality and depth to the squad. Gyökeres provides a real threat up front, Eze is creative from the wing, while Zubimendi gives Declan Rice more freedom to help attack without sacrificing the team’s balance.
