Stat that shows why Arsenal WILL win the Premier League – and only ONE team has failed from their position

ARSENAL are enjoying their best Premier League season in living memory.

And as far as the stats are concerned, the Gunners are on course for a first Premier League title since the Invincibles in 2004.

Star players like Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard have played their hearts out under Mikel Arteta this term.

Arsenal have won 10 of their 12 games so far, losing just once and scoring 30 times.

And a super computer has already predicted the Gunners will win the title with a club-record points tally.

Indeed, Arsenal’s current points total of 31 is among the best in Premier League history at this stage of the season.

Man City boast two of the best three starts after 12 matches played, picking up 34 points in the 11/12 and 17/18 seasons.

Liverpool also reached that impressive figure in the 19/20 campaign.

Elsewhere, City (18/19) and Chelsea (14/15) managed 32 points in the past.

And all those sides went on to win the title that season.

As for four other teams who had 31 points after 12 games, three of them ended the term with silverware.

Chelsea (05/06) and Man Utd (93/94, 06/07) were crowned champs with the same tally as Arsenal right now.

But there was one side who hit 31 points and failed to clinch the title.

That unenviable award goes to Newcastle, who infamously finished second under Kevin Keegan in the 95/96 campaign.

They led the league from August until mid-March, and were 12 points clear of Man Utd in late January.

But Newcastle steadily saw their lead cut before Keegan’s iconic rant, provoked by Sir Alex Ferguson’s mind games, sealed their fate.

He said just weeks before United beat Toon to the title by four points: “You can tell him [Fergie] now, we’re still fighting for this title and he’s got to go to Middlesbrough (for the last game of the season) and get something.

“And I’ll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it.”

It is certainly a moment Arteta will reflect on as the season continues, with defending champs Man City just two points behind.

And one of Arsenal’s biggest tests of the season is just days away when they travel to Chelsea on Sunday.
