Arsenal are going to win the Premier League. That, my friends and my enemies, is easily the most likely outcome of this Premier League season.
Yes, the Gunners only have a four-point lead over second place and a five-point lead on third through nine matches. The problem, for anyone wanting to refute the sentence of this piece, is that the second place team is Bournemouth, who came into the season with high-mid-table aspirations, and tied for third are Tottenham, who finished last season in 17th, and Sunderland who were one of the three favorites to get relegated.
