Arsenal have everything they need to repeat as Premier League champions

Arsenal's 3-0 win at Liverpool on Sunday underlined why they are favorites to retain the Premier League title. The Gunners are three points clear of Manchester City, who face a potential points deduction, and five ahead of Brighton in third. Despite a 20-minute Liverpool surge before halftime at Anfield, Arsenal held firm, keeping a second consecutive clean sheet without allowing a shot on target. Manager Mikel Arteta has built a deeper, more experienced squad than last season, and the competition looks weaker with City's legal troubles and Liverpool's transition under Arne Slot. Arsenal's ability to weather pressure and control games suggests a season of domination is unfolding. The title race may already be tilting decisively toward north London.
