At this stage last season, the Gunners were Premier League title contenders. That year, they had only Manchester City to contend with - and they came short.
This season, Arteta's men are in a three-horse race for league title, with Liverpool also in the race. With a better team at his disposal, what's stopping Arsenal from a first title win in two decades?

Bayern Munich's dip in form may be bad news for Tuchel. But it is great news for Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen.

Is it a coincidence that some of the best Premier League games happen just days to the end of the year? Are the Italians trying to replicate a superb marketing strategy by making the #JuventusRoma clash the clash Serie A game of the year?

One of the best ways to know a tournament is just around the corner: The outrage/displeasure/outcry that comes with a squad list announcement.
Fans have been debating the composition of Jose Peseiro's list. To a sect of fans, the Super Eagles Nigeria manager seems biased. To others, a spot in the national team should be handed out on merit.
The most interesting thing about both debates? They're both right!

The Nigerian striker was on course to be announced as CAF Player of the Year. What seemed to be a general consensus kicked up a bit of dust just hours before the award winner was announced.
And again, the ugly head of 'My Opinion vs. Your Opinion' again reared its ugly head in football. Here we are, again asking: Are some comments in football more important than others?
Stamford Bridge served football fans a classic when Chelsea and Manchester City played out an enthralling 4-4 draw. Now that the dust has settled, it's time to ask questions about both teams and Erling Haaland.
In the Premier League this season, poor refereeing decisions have largely been accompanied by apologies. The PGMOL have been seen expressing regret to clubs who have been affected by the errors of their officials.
But to what end? Are these apologies supposed to mean anything? Are they even necessary if the officials keep making these errors?
It's that time of the year when the initial Ballon d'Or shortlist surfaces and various fanbases make their argument.
After what was a mind-blowing debut season as a Manchester City player in which he won The Treble, Erling Haaland has been nominated for the award. Same as Lionel Messi who, for the umpteenth time, has made the shortlist.
But this time, the argument for him to win an eighth award is a different one: He has (finally) won the FIFA World Cup.
But what argument should be made for a player who won both The Treble and the FIFA World Cup?
The third weekend in August was one like no other. It had the World Cup final, more Premier League games and, of course, the return of Serie A football - featuring a handful of sumptuous goals.
But what's a weekend of football without questionable refereeing calls? That they're coming early in the season, should fans be worried?
Three African countries qualifying for the knockout stages is a rarity on the world stage when it comes to soccer.
But it has happened, being one of the many firsts, that the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup has served since it began on the 20th of July.
It's football heritage like football fans would rarely see. On on hand, a Sevilla side that needed extra-time to get past Juventus in the semi-finals. On the other, an AS Roma side that needed extra-time to get past Feyenoord in the quarter-finals. The goal: To win the Europa League.
Legacy, history, experience are all at stake as another continental title is decided.
And then they were EIGHT!
As things get heated up in the UCL, the Italians have stolen the headlines. From the teams to the gaffers, it seems like Operation Resucitate Calcio in the Champions League this season. Also, as we countdown to the draws, Real Madrid seem to be the only side flying the Spain colors. Are they the team to beat (again) this season)
In the German Bundesliga, Bayern Munich (in 1st place) and SC Freiburg (in 5th place) are separated by just five points. These two sides, including the three sandwiched in-between are still technically alive in Europe. Add to that the 12 rounds of league games still to be played, and a lot can still happen in this race.
However, this does not take anything away from what has been interestingly tight race at the summit of Germany's premier club football league. So, why is this neck-to-neck tussle in Germany not as popular? Why is the 'most competitive' of Europe's top 5 leagues this season not being deservedly discussed as it should?
Arsenal's loss to Manchester City was their first at the Emirates this season. Now joint-top of the Premier League table (second no thanks to goals difference), Arteta's got company in a position that was once lonely. Can the Gunners go the distance this season?
Chelsea's first half performance had us thinking about why the Blues fans were skeptical about facing Man. City. Their second half display, however, proved that the fears were true.
On the other hand, champions Manchester City, showed the world why they're back-to-back Premier League champions, especially with Pep Guardiola's 2nd half subs and the general performance.
Thursday night was a tale about two different sides. But there are only a few things that separates both teams.
Kindly rate, cheer and like wherever you get this podcast episode.
Who wants to be second choice in their football club? Maybe former Liverpool super-sub, Divock Origi. But you won't find a lot of other players happy to be unsure of a starting berth in their clubs. With a World Cup tournament in the offing, players are looking for more playing time. And that's affecting a lot of other things.
In other news, Edouard Mendy has made a 'strange' comparison between Christian Benteke and Erling Haaland. Sets us up for a tasty Chelsea-Manchester City clash this season, not so?
The Super Falcons' #GoingFor10th mission had a false start in Morocco on the 4th of July.
Unlike in a 100m dash and similar to a Mario Kart game, they have a handful of lives left. If they must get La Decima, they must defeat Botswana - at least to start with; one of the only two sides that scored 4 goals in their opening game.
In other news, was that a preview of the Africa Women Cup of Nations final this year? Also, is women football on the continent so bad that it can't attract fans to the stadium?

The gap between the Serie A and the Premier League is widening. And one man is not only complaining about it, but shedding more light on the differences that most are not paying attention to.
On the other hand, the AC Milan chairman has highlighted some of the advantages of the Premier League.
Has the Premier League become 'uncatchable'? Is it about era, availability or star-power?
