Arsenal's squad depth 'unbelievable'
Arsenal's squad depth makes them favourites for the Premier League title, says former Premier League forward Clinton Morrison. The Gunners stamped their authority as league leaders on Tuesday night with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over in-form Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal spent big to bolster their attack in the summer, but their main attacking contributor on paper is Leandro Trossard.
Arsenal emphatically proved their title credentials with a convincing victory over Aston Villa at the Emirates. Goals from Gabriel, Martin Zubimendi, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus in a brilliant second half from Mikel Arteta’s side meant they moved five points clear of second-place Manchester City, who play on Thursday.
So, from on-field highs and history-making ties to the pursuit of a glorious future, here are five of the best Arsenal moments in 2025. Fans were mocked online for seeking a quarter-final clash with Real Madrid rather than Atletico back in March; by 16th April, those jibes had disappeared.
The match at the Emirates Stadium was each team’s 19th of the season, officially marking the halfway point of their 2025-26 Premier League campaigns. With the win, Arsenal has a five-point lead over second-place Manchester City, who will have the chance to respond on Thursday, Jan. 1 with a visit to Sunderland.
