DANIEL MATTHEWS: Why Arsenal CAN win the Premier League… and why they won’t! New-found grit and youthful exuberance has fired Gunners to the top, but will inexperience and a lack of depth in key areas catch up with them?

Victory over Leeds on Sunday means Arsenal have matched their best league start, dating back to 1903-04, with Mikel Arteta’s side winning nine of their opening 10 matches.

The last four teams to have enjoyed such a fine start have gone on to win the title.

So, DANIEL MATTHEWS asks, can Arsenal join them?
