At the current moment in time, Arsenal look like favourites for the Premier League title.
Sunday's 4-1 victory over Tottenham was a huge statement of intent, with the Gunners crushing their fierce rivals at the Emirates Stadium to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
After years of near-misses, Arsenal appear closer than ever before to finally ending their wait for the crown. It has taken years of building under Mikel Arteta but no side looks to be on their level, as Sunday's mauling showed.
And former Gunners star Jermaine Pennant, speaking exclusively to GB News via MightyTips, believes they're on the brink of achieving something 'special' after over two decades of hurt.

Pennant thinks the signs are positive for Arsenal.
The 42-year-old, who made 26 appearances for the north London side, added: "It looks very good from where we stand now.
"Top of the League, not conceding, a deep squad of hugely talented players and a squad that is fully united and where each player knows their role when they play.
"Defensively, Arsenal have been strong. But this year, they seem to have taken it to a new level.
"Both full-backs are playing well and also contributing to the attack as well. Forwards wise, they are scoring from all over the pitch as well and [Kai] Havertz is still to come back [from injury].
"I would say no [they have no weaknesses]. Just they haven't won the league and mentality could be the only weakness, if you had to look at it now.
