Stats Show Arsenal Would Be Top of The Premier League if Season Started in September

• Arsenal have enjoyed a revival since the start of September, with the side yet to taste defeat
• The incredible run of form has seen them collect 20 points and now sit fifth on the log
• The Gunners' face a tough test of their credentials when they come up against Liverpool after the international break

Arsenal would be topping the Premier League standings should the season have started in September, statistics show.

The Gunners had a disappointing start to the 2021/22 season as they lost three of their opening fixtures.

Arsenal's poor run of form

The north Londoners kicked off the campaign with a shock defeat against then newly-promoted side Brentford before following up the result with two consecutive losses against rivals Chelsea and Man City.

The string of disappointing results left the side battling relegation at some stage before eventually rediscovering their form.

Mikel Arteta's charges have since been on an upward trajectory with their last outing against Watford ending in a 1-0 victory at the Emirates.

Smith Rowe was Arsenal's man of the moment as his solitary goal in the second half earned them three vital points.

The result saw them leapfrog rivals Man United to fifth and are now just two points behind Liverpool, who have been widely touted as title favourites.

Arsenal's turn of form

The encouraging result over Watford came on the backdrop of several others that have seen the Emirates dwellers go 10 games unbeaten across competitions.

Their last defeat dates back to August when they were mauled 5-0 by Man City at the Etihad.

Since then, Arteta's men have beaten Norwich City, Burnley, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Leicester, and Watford, with two other fixtures against Brighton and Crystal Palace ending in draws.

According to stats, Arsenal have collected an incredible 20 points since the start of September, an impressive run that would have them comfortably sitting on the summit of the log.
