Arsenal established commanding Premier League lead. Arsenal has already established a commanding lead position of the Premier League in the strong start of the 2025-26 season. They gained a four-point advantage after the first nine matches. This premature supremacy has set the fires of those who supported them. Moreover, they also established them as the statistical champions of getting the title.
The Gunners have the job due to their stable and consistent writings. Arsenal is at the top of the current league table with 22 points. This is the highest in the league, and on which the defense has been exceptionally parsimonious. They only gave away three goals so far.
A Weekend That Solidified Supremacy
A decisive weekend of performances increased the relevance of the lead of Arsenal. The squad of Mikel Arteta churns out a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. However, both of their closest papers, Manchester City and Liverpool, both lost. Moreover, this sequence of performances enabled the Gunners to establish a large distance between them and the incumbent champions. This is transforming a good performance into an overwhelming one.
The Foundation: A Rock-Solid Defense
Early success of Arsenal has been their strong defense. The back men have been miserly, and according to the statistics it has been the least conceding to the goals in the league. This solid defense gives them a stable base on which to win even when they are not feeling at their most fluid in their attacks. This resilience can be seen by the recent 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, when goalkeeper David Raya was merely called to his first save in the Premier League since September.
Data Backs the Hype
Beyond the raw table, data models are taking notice. A report issued by Sports also Illustrated has indicated that the Opta supercomputer that compiles thousands of simulations to determine the ultimate result of the season now considers Arsenal as the overpowering favorite. The statistics provide the Gunners with a 66.35 probability of winning in the premier league estimating that they will end up with about 80 points. This critical approval ratifies what this table already indicates, that it is Arsenal who is the team to beat.
