Arsenal-A

Arsene Wenger’s men aren’t the most talented 11 in the Premier League so they get an A for being tied with City on points. Don’t get me wrong, Arsenal has a lot of talent out there on the pitch, but they aren’t quite at the level of Manchester City. The Gunners have been terrific in attack on the young season and surprisingly, have deployed youngsters in defense with solid results.

Players like Hector Bellerin and Francis Coquelin have allowed their attackers to display their full array of talent. I’d be concerned about a little regression towards the mean for their midfielders, but that’s talking about the future. To date they’ve played attractive football and have the points to show for it.
