Arsenal handed an ideal Premier League title warning as Mikel Arteta makes club history with the accolade
Arsenal remain five points clear at the top of the Premier League standings despite suffering a second loss of the season, with Manchester City having the opportunity to narrow the deficit to two points when they face Tottenham.
Even though Arsenal lost to Everton yesterday, Mikel Arteta has been given the ideal Premier League championship omen. The Gunners were unable to score against the Toffees, as James Tarkowski scored the game’s only goal.
In the January transfer window, the north London club added Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, and Jorginho to Arteta’s roster. Arsenal has lost only eight points in 20 games so far this season, maintaining a five-point lead atop the Premier League.

Today, Manchester City has the opportunity to cut the gap on their primary title opponents, with a win over Tottenham bringing them within two points of Arsenal. Arteta will be hopeful that Arsenal’s north London rivals will give them a significant advantage in the title race by defeating City.
The Gunners have been by far the best club in the division this season as Arteta continues to mature and construct a roster that can consistently compete for the sport’s most prestigious honors. Many experts and supporters believed the Spaniard would not be in charge for the start of the 2022/23 Premier League season after the club failed to finish in the top four last year.
The choice to stick with Arteta has paid off, as the Gunners are currently five points clear at the top of the table with only three months remaining in the season. In January, the Arsenal manager won his third Premier League Manager of the Month title, the first time a manager has won it three times at the Emirates Stadium in the same season.
It is the first time a manager has won the accolade three times since Jurgen Klopp won it three times with Liverpool in the 2019-20 season. The Reds went on to win their first league championship in 30 years during that season, which could be a positive omen for Arteta and Arsenal as they seek to win the Premier League for the first time since 2004.
Both teams are scheduled to play each other twice more before the end of the season, which might determine whether club finishes first in May. A dismal loss to Everton will not derail Arsenal’s pursuit of the Premier League crown, but injuries may threaten to do so, despite the presence of new players at the Emirates Stadium.
