Six Premier League records Arsenal can beat this season
We can all accept that Arsenal are going to walk to the Premier League title and so the rest of us must try and find some entertainment in whether they can break any records in the process. Manchester City's impending doom, along with other usual title challengers being in 'transition', makes it hard to see any team other than Arsenal lifting the Premier League crown.
But could Arsenal at least do us a favour and make it record-breaking? Here are some of the long-standing achievements Mikel Arteta's team could surpass this season… Biggest Premier League title-winning margin If we all presume City will be hit by a big points decision, you are looking at the rest ofthe Premier League tableand wondering where the challenge will come from.
Brighton are our best/only hope but this is their first season challenging for a title alongside European football, while usual contenders Liverpool and Chelsea both look flawed. Arsenal are very close to maximum points so far this season with just one stumble, and could feasibly win the title by a great margin.
If you are of the opinion that City's achievements from that time should be null and void, then you are looking at the 18-point gap of Liverpool in 2019/20, which extends to 33 points if you remove City from that season. Setting aside the logistical nightmare that is City, the number to beat is 19 - not impossible for Arsenal this season.
If the top four, excluding City, continued at their current points-per-game ratio, Chelsea would be on 61, Liverpool on 68, Brighton on 84 and Arsenal on 103, equaling the 19-point gap. In doing so, they would also likely get close to another record: the most matches remaining after winning the title, which currently stands at seven, set by 2019/20 Liverpool.

The lowest tally ever recorded by a Premier League champion is the 75 set by Manchester United in the 1996/97 campaign.
Having won the Premier League last season and ended the domestic drought, the Champions League may be Arsenal's biggest focus this campaign. You could easily imagine a scenario in the new year where Arsenal have a comfortable cushion at the top of the league and put their focus on Europe instead.
Their league form could suffer as a result.
