It seemed so Arsenal I started swaying.
Having started December with defeat at Aston Villa, they were far from convincing as they narrowly beat Wolves, Everton and Brighton.
But the Gunners registered vital results and answered any lingering doubts about their title credentials with an emphatic 4-1 home win over Villa on Tuesday.
Not only did it keep Unai Emery’s in-form side in third place, it was a strong message to any team hoping to derail their silverware ambitions.
Arsenal head into 2026 and the second half of the season, at the top of the league, five points behind second-placed Manchester City, with Villa a further point behind.
“Arsenal did what they did with Villa which tells you where they are,” former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“Everything is going well for them because everyone is contributing – the manager, the players and the coaching staff.”
Speaking on Match of the Day, former England midfielder Danny Murphy added: “Arsenal’s performance was a big statement. It was solid, full of quality and showed their strength in depth.”
But, with a history of letting the title slip from their grasp after three successive second-place finishes, can Arsenal finally make it count this season and become champions for the first time since 2004?
