The Premier League title is now in Arsenal hands only, win our next six games and we enter footballing nirvana. It seems only fair, therefore, to ask you, how’s your ticker?

On Friday afternoon, following a pair of Premier League away performances probably best described as sub optimal and an increasingly noisy build up to a huge North London Derby, Mikel Arteta laid it out for his players.

Arsenal went into the second leg of the League Cup semi final with Chelsea this week knowing that a clean sheet at the Emirates would see them returning to Wembley in March for the first time in – well, let’s just say a while.

Oh, Arsenal. It would be really hard to describe Sunday afternoon’s “performance” against Manchester United in any other terms than a collective brain fade from everyone involved in it.

Arsenal have exited the Christmas and New Year period having extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points.

A weekend that shifted the mood of the title race, as Arsenal deliver under pressure and rivals unravel across a chaotic and revealing round of fixtures.

Arsenal’s Wolves win sparks reflection on form, fatigue and belief, as familiar flaws resurface despite another decisive intervention.

A late Villa defeat stings, but injuries, fatigue and fine margins tell a wider story as the title race tightens heading into a brutal December run.

Arsenal’s visit to Stamford Bridge ended in frustration, but the wider implications may yet prove more revealing than the result itself.

Eberechi Eze delivered a decisive North London derby display, shaping Arsenal’s win with composure and quality in a match charged with expectation.

Bukayo Saka’s latest England display raises fresh questions over why his excellence is so often underplayed while others, like Phil Foden, receive greater attention.

Liverpool are being compared to Arsenal from five years ago after Sunderland’s late equaliser, highlighting how far Arteta’s side have risen and how far Liverpool have slipped.

A chance meeting, old friends, a brilliant strike and a defensive confidence that shows how far Arsenal have come.

From the chaos of 2019 to total control in 2025, Arsenal’s transformation under Arteta has turned doubt into dominance – and this season feels different.

Arsenal battled VAR calls, Nick Pope saves and Newcastle’s resistance before late goals from Merino and Gabriel sealed an emotional and defiant away win.

Arsenal’s title race heats up with a crucial match at Anfield; can they overcome the challenge and send a strong message to Guardiola?

Arsenal’s dream of winning the Premier League title is within reach, and writer Paul Williams lays out his case for why they might just ride the train to the top.

Arsenal continued their impressive run towards a league title win with a convincing win over Fulham, extending their lead at the top of the table and this weekend they can stretch it further.

I don’t suppose we Arsenal fans are, by any means, the only set of fans who feel like our team have been put on this planet for the sole purpose of being extremely hazardous for our health. However, it is our team, our beloved, brilliant team who have scored three last minute winners in the last six weeks.

I don’t know how many people have been left surprised by Arsenal’s excellent form since the resumption of the Premier League season. Nonetheless, I’m certainly not going pretend I expected Arsenal to come through a very challenging run of fixtures, including 4 of this season’s top 6, not just unbeaten, but having taken 10 points out of 12 from those games. We also played, and beat, West Ham.
