Arsenal are currently level on points at the top of the Premier League.
Speaking to BT Sport, Michael Owen has warned that things are going to get harder for Arsenal in the coming weeks.
The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League after ten games, level on points with Liverpool and Manchester City.
They have had a relatively comfortable start to the campaign, playing just four teams who finished in the ten last season.
Indeed, five of their games have came against teams that currently occupy the bottom seven position in the league.

Their next two games see them taking on Tottenham at home and Manchester United away and Owen has warned things are going to get harder for the Gunners.
“There’s a buzz about Arsenal, certainly after their opening-day defeat,” he told BT Sport.
“Since then it’s picked up really nicely. They’re scoring goals at will, a lot of players are scoring at the moment.”
“It’s not been the hardest of starts and it’s going to get harder. However, you can only beat what’s in front of you. They’re doing it and they’re doing it well. It’s exciting times for Arsenal.”

It will certainly be interesting to see how many points Arsenal pick up this month, with November having been a trick period in recent seasons.
Last year they failed to win any of their three games in the month, picking up just points in the process. The season before they managed just two wins from four games.
This season the month sees them take on Tottenham, Manchester United, Bournemouth and Southampton in their four league games.
Those are tough games and how they fare is likely to play a huge part in determining their title credentials this season.
