With Arsenal sitting on top of the Premier League table debate is raging whether Arsene Wenger’s young team can take Chelsea and Manchester United all the way in the race to this season’s title.

Having not lost in the league since November it is Arsenal’s next four games that will tell whether they have what it takes as The Gunners prepare to face Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in a crucial run of big games.

Paddy Power are offering odds of 25/1 that Arsenal win all four of the key games whilst it is 5/1 that the wheels come off the title challenge and Arsenal fail to win any of the matches.

Of the four games the bookmaker considers that winning the Liverpool game only is the most likely at betting odds of 11/2 whilst it is 8/1 Arsenal win the two home games of the four against Manchester United and Liverpool.

With five goals in Arsenal’s last four matches captain fantastic Cesc Fabregas will no doubt play an important part in The Gunners’ big run of games. Fabregas is at odds of 9/2 to score three goals over the next four games whilst 5/2 indicates that the opposition stifle the key man and he fails to get on the score sheet.

Despite sitting at the top of the table, at least until United play Hull City this weekend, Arsenal are 3/1 joint second betting favourites to win the title alongside the champions Manchester United.
