Can Arteta's Arsenal retain the Premier League title?

Arsenal have the title, the squad and the calm to start something bigger than one trophy. If they retain the Premier League this season, this stops being a great team having a great year and becomes an era.

Ten games in, Arsenal sit top on 27 points, five clear going into the international break. They have won nine, lost one, conceded five and kept seven clean sheets.

Those are champions' numbers, and they belong to a side that already are the champions. Winning a first Premier League title brings anxiety: can you, will you, are you good enough?

Nobody calls a second one a fluke. Has the imposter syndrome finally gone?

Watch how this team handles a frustrating afternoon now. Against Hull City last weekend, Arsenal had most of the ball for most of the game and Hull spent long spells camped in their own half.

It stayed goalless deep into the second half, until Martin Odegaard followed up after Noni Madueke's 72nd-minute shot was saved, as we covered in our piece on Odegaard's return to form against Hull. In previous seasons, that kind of game turned the Emirates nervy around the hour mark.

You could feel it in the stands, on the bench and on the pitch. Arsenal won't always find a way, but there is a quiet confidence, in the dressing room and among supporters, that they usually will.

This season they have shown every version of themselves. They have played brilliant, entertaining football.

They have ground out the dull wins too, and the Hull game was their sixth single-goal victory of the campaign. They have come from behind, and the substitutes have changed games.
