Arsenal\u2019s position at the top of the Premier League table has strengthened further following Chelsea\u2019s defeat to Leeds United, a result that came only days after Chelsea held the Gunners to a draw<\/a>. This sequence of outcomes has fuelled the belief among many observers that the title race is now firmly in Arsenal\u2019s hands. Although Mikel Arteta\u2019s side has not been flawless, they have displayed a level of consistency that most of their rivals have struggled to match in recent months.<\/p>\n

Injury setbacks and occasional dropped points, including drawing against Sunderland<\/a>, have at times threatened to disrupt Arsenal\u2019s momentum. Yet those chasing them have not capitalised, allowing the Gunners to maintain their position at the summit. With each passing week, their durability and resilience suggest they have the temperament required for a sustained title challenge.<\/p>\n

Growing Belief in Arsenal\u2019s Favour<\/p>\n

The recent victory over Brentford, combined with Chelsea\u2019s loss to Leeds United, has only increased confidence among former players and pundits that Arsenal are now favourites for the title. The team\u2019s ability to respond positively after minor setbacks has been a hallmark of their season. Their structure, discipline and individual quality have kept them ahead, even as the schedule intensifies.<\/p>\n

This sense of momentum has also shaped the views of leading figures in the game. Manchester United icons Roy Keane and Gary Neville discussed the title race with Ian Wright after the latest round of fixtures, both expressing their belief that Arsenal are now expected to finish the job.<\/p>\n

Speaking as reported by the Metro<\/a>, Neville said, \u2018Your lot have got to win it. You\u2019ve got to win the league this season.\u2019 Keane followed by adding, \u2018The league is over. It\u2019s over. The league is over.\u2019<\/p>\n

Despite such emphatic declarations, many matches remain, and the title is far from officially decided. Arsenal simply need to maintain their focus, continue winning and avoid being distracted by results elsewhere. Their destiny remains entirely in their own hands.<\/p>\n
