Life as an Arsenal fan is looking very sweet right now. The last time football fans witnessed a team competing with this level of dominance across every competition was during Pep Guardiola’s peak years.
Softfootball gathered, Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League, holding a nine-point advantage ahead of Manchester City’s upcoming clash with Liverpool. They are also unbeaten in the Champions League, have reached the Carabao Cup final after edging Chelsea 1–0 in the second leg, and remain active contenders in the FA Cup.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have evolved into a complete and fearless side. Unlike teams that prioritise only one competition, Arsenal are fully committed everywhere. The squad depth, tactical discipline, and confidence now allow them to compete on all fronts without losing momentum.
Key players are returning to peak form at the perfect time. Viktor Gyökeres looks unstoppable with eight goals, showing that his full potential has finally awakened. Kai Havertz delivered a decisive moment against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, while Gabriel Jesus continues to play with intensity and purpose.
There has been debate around whether Bukayo Saka limits Gyökeres’ influence, but Softfootball strongly disagrees. Arsenal’s attacking balance allows multiple match-winners to shine. With talents like Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, the Gunners have players capable of deciding games at any moment.
Many may still doubt Arsenal, but history shows that when a team’s moment arrives, very little can stop it. Arsenal have been close for several seasons, and this campaign feels different.
They now face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final, continue to stretch their lead in the Premier League, and remain serious contenders in the Champions League. Crucially, their league cushion gives Arteta flexibility the ability to rotate, manage intensity, and strategically approach key European fixtures.
