Arsenal have been one of the best teams in the Premier League this season, and this naturally means that several key players have stood out among their peers. Mikel Arteta’s side have been fighting Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side for the title, but unless the Champions now drop points, Arsenal are likely to fall just short. Nevertheless, Arsenal have the best attacking and defensive records in the league, and a run of outstanding form with just one defeat in 16 games in 2024 has shown that they are capable of competing at the top end of the table. Arsenal have also made themselves competi...

Arsenal have been outstanding in 2024, and their fine form since the New Year has kept them in the Premier League title race. The Gunners ended 2023 with back-to-back defeats against West Ham and Fulham which threatened to derail their title hopes.

However, one thing changed their fortunes entirely, and they have since won 14 of their 16 Premier League games since, with just one defeat in that time. Arsenal are going toe to toe with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who do ha...
