Although the new Premier League season is just five games old Arsenal currently sit at the top of the table and after their positive start could be viewed as genuine title contenders. After suffering an opening day defeat at home to Aston Villa, the Gunners have won their last four which include a win at Fulham, a 1-0 derby victory over Tottenham as well as 3-1 wins over both Sunderland and Stoke. It is 8 years since Arsenal last picked up silverware thanks to their 2005 FA Cup final win on penalties over Manchester United and for the stature of the club it is far too long. Even though the seasons have passed by, manager Arsene Wenger has been reluctant to splash the cash but this summer they made a real marquee signing after midfielder Mesut Ozil joined from Real Madrid. Ozil brings a real creative outlet to the Emirates that has seen the German international already make three assists during his two Premier League outings. The surprise package of the current season so far has been Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey who has already scored on seven occasions which is more than his past three seasons combined. Ramsey's goals used to be renowned for every time he scored someone famous died although his strikes this year don't seem to have had the same effect. Up front is an area that Arsenal are weak in though with Wenger having just Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski to call upon as strikers after summer negotiations for Gonzalo Higuain failed to materialise. If they can find goals through other areas of the field in players such as Theo Walcott, Santi Cazorla and Ozil then they may have enough to be in the mix come May. Arsenal's chances of winning the league may also have increased due to the fact that little doubts can be placed in all of their rivals. Early life at Manchester United without Fergie hasn't started well with defeats at both Liverpool and Manchester City and whilst City looked mighty impressive in the 4-1 derby win and the 4-0 opening weekend victory over Newcastle they struggled to beat Hull and have dropped points on their travels at both Cardiff and Stoke. Chelsea lack a genuine goalscorer, Liverpool's struggles against mid-table teams at home continued after their 1-0 loss to Southampton whilst Tottenham seem to have re-invested their Gareth Bale money well but lack experience of challenging for the league. With all this in mind then 2014 may be the year that the wait is over and Arsenal can finally deliver another trophy.
