Teams without titles often face different scrutiny, as seen with Arsenal, who currently lead the Premier League with 50 points and an impressive defensive record. Despite this, their goal-scoring pace is projected to be the lowest for a champion since 2015-16.

Mikel Arteta’s pragmatic approach is yielding consistent results, positioning them as strong contenders amid a competitive league.
