However, the identity of their closest challengers still brings a considerable measure of anxiety. On the first two of Arsenal's three consecutive second-place finishes over the past three seasons, Manchester City were champions. The Gunners collapsed from a position of strength in 2022/23 before taking the race to the wire a year later, when City's final-day victory over West Ham edged them over the line.
The most recent of those triumphs marked a record fourth league title in a row, a previously unprecedented feat in English football. After limping to third last season and a hasty and extensive refit of what was an ageing playing squad, City are a shadow of that team this time around or, at the very least, an entirely different one. Throwing away winning positions three times over the course of back-to-back Premier League draws against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest and West Ham underline how this is probably a season too soon for Pep Guardiola's new-look team.
