The Gunners’ hunger for the 2022/23 Premier League title is so vivid that Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, had to launch a fierce broadside in all directions to bring about improvement from the reigning kings after the Citizens’ 4-2 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal’s steady progress and heightening maturity under Spanish boss, Mikel Arteta, has awoken Guardiola to realize who the real title rivals are.
Even Man City may be destroyed by Arteta’s Arsenal if they fail to improve accordingly.
Arsenal’s beautiful 3-2 victory over improving Manchester United is a significant indicator that the Gunners are focused on the English Premier League 2022/23 title after almost two decades.
Eddie Nketiah’s 90th minute goal secured all three points for Arsenal to place them five points clear at the top of the table with 50 points, trailed by Manchester City, who have accumulated 45 points.
Out of 19 matches, Arsenal has recorded 16 wins, 2 draws and one loss – at this stage, all lingering doubts about the pedigree of this kind of team should be squashed.
The strength of the squad of Manchester City can never be de-emphasized as it can have a decisive impact on this season’s title race, however, Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah has metamorphosed within a short period to play a very important role in the absence of Gabriel Jesus, who was extremely essential for the Gunners prior to the FIFA World Cup 2022 break.

New addition Leandro Trossard from Brighton and Hove Albion can be very helpful in Arsenal’s title challenge.
There is still a long way to go as regards the Premier League 2022/23 title, Arsenal are currently at the top, however, it is just the middle of the season and a whole lot of matches ahead.
Can Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal hold their spot till the end and clinch their first Premier League title after almost two decades?
