TA talks about the Premier League title race: No team is as reliable as Arsenal, their defense is very solid

October 27th: After nine rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal leads the standings with 22 points. The Athletic wrote an article about the prospects of competing for the Premier League title. The article stated that no team is as reliable as Arsenal.

TA said that the Premier League has gone through 9 rounds and the season has only passed a quarter. It is only now that we are starting to think about whether the standings have a large enough sample size to be worthy of attention. This is not the time to draw all conclusions, but Arsenal seems to be winning the championship.

The situation at the top of the table is unusual. Bournemouth and Sunderland are both in the Champions League. The former has made steady progress under the coaching of Iraura, and the latter has performed well in the first few weeks of returning to the top flight. Although it may decline, no one cares about this. Both teams are in hot form and performing much better than most expected to challenge for the top of the table.

Manchester City lost to Villa on Sunday, which was their third defeat of the season. They defeated weaker teams, but lost against strong teams. This is not a good sign for them to catch up with Arsenal.

Liverpool is currently 7 points behind. What is embarrassing is that they are still behind Manchester United, which has been in good form recently. Chelsea's strategy of only signing young players may be good from a player trading perspective, but it is less successful from a consistent winning perspective. Spurs are third but lack the depth to threaten Arsenal.

No team is as reliable as Arsenal. On the surface, their wins are thrilling. They can win by one or two goals at most. You may wonder whether their relatively small number of goals will cause problems in the future. But for now, their defense is very solid and they haven't conceded a goal in the league for a month, so even if they only score a goal or two, it won't matter.

And it needs to be emphasized that Arsenal achieved this result without Odegaard, Madueke and Havertz. When they return, you will expect to show more creativity. In previous years, Arsenal's squad has always looked a bit thin, and it felt like they lacked the necessary ruthlessness. But it's different now. Arsenal is the most reliable team in the Premier League, and this has been proven.
