**Arsenal**is one position above Chelsea with the same points because of a little-known rule. The teams have the same points in the League but the North London giants sit on the second position in the Premier League table.
Chelsea are in fresh form under their new manager Enzo Maresca. The Blues are in good form as they have well settled into the top 5 position of the English League. They have learned lessons from their previous seasons. The Italian manager has led his team to impressive wins this season.
Arsenal is in impressive form as well and they have the same points as Chelsea this campaign. They sit in the second position of the table with 25 points. Mikel Arteta is aiming for titles and is most likely to get them if he maintains his team’s form.
The Blues and the Gunners are still 9 points behind the table toppers Liverpool. Arne Slot has played a crucial role in leading the Reds to the top of the English League’s table. They remain the favourites to win the silverware this campaign.
There is a lesser-known rule which has put Arsenal above Chelsea with the same points. If any clubs finish with the same number of points their position is decided by goal difference and number of goals scored. This further leads to the head-to-head match points and who scored the most goals in away games.

There is still time before the winner of the league is crowned. The current standings put Arsenal above Chelsea on the basis of alphabetical order.

Arsenal is aiming for the English silverware
Mikel Arteta believes in his team and is confident that the Gunners will win trophies this season. This statement can turn out true if Arsenal continues with their current form. They will look to maintain a winning form to fill their trophy cabinet.
They initially had a shaky start to the season where Arsenal broke their winning streak twice. The Gunners have been defeated by underrated teams this campaign but have found a way to bounce back.
Arsenal host Manchester United twice in different campaigns at the Emirates Stadium. The situation is much more tense in the Premier League where the three points will be very crucial for the Gunners. If Arsenal wants to challenge Liverpool they win aim to secure points.
Enzo Marseca makes a bold statement on Chelsea’s future
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has stated that the Blues can dominate the Premier League for the next 10 years. The boss earlier ruled out the chances of Chelsea winning the Premier League title this season according to BBC. This statement is still in the air as Chelsea is just nine points behind Liverpool.
The Blues jumped over the title holders Manchester City after their convincing 3-0 victory against Everton. Pep Guardiola’s side has dipped in form of which Arsenal and Chelsea have taken full advantage. The Gunners and the Blues sit just over the title holders.
Chelsea have spent close to 1.2 million euros under the ownership of Todd Boehly. these signings mostly include young players. Enzo Maresca brought in 11 players last summer making them the most active teams in the transfer window.
The manager believes that the squad is still inexperienced and mostly includes players under the age of 23. He thinks that this shortcoming could cost them the title. This is positive too as the 44-year-old is sure that team will grow and will dominate for the next 10 years.
