Arsenal have lost only once in the past seven months and Arsene Wenger has challenged them to prove their mettle as potential champions.
Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal have the quality to claim a first Premier League crown since 2003-04 but has challenged his players to maintain their form over the course of the title race.
The Gunners have suffered a number of near-misses since they last scaled the summit of English football, habitually faltering at inopportune moments.
They were runners-up to surprise champions Leicester City last season in a campaign that underwhelmed significant sections of Arsenal's fanbase, who had the knives out for Wenger once again when Liverpool won 4-3 at Emirates Stadium on the opening weekend this time around.
