Mikel Arteta has made a significant tactical change this season, and it has worked wonders for Arsenal. The Gunners sit top of the Premier League table after seven matches, winning five and losing just once, while conceding just three goals in the process.
Arsenal's improved performance has led pundits like Ally McCoist to believe they will win the title. Several others have also expressed their opinion that the North Londoners are the favourites in recent weeks.
Last season, Arsenal were criticised for their laborious and sterile attacks, dominating possession and territory but lacking penetration in the final third.
Arsenal will win the title if they keep playing in the way that they have so far.
