Alan Shearer's five-word Arsenal title verdict says everything about Arteta

Arsenal retained their lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over newly-promoted Burnley at Turf Moor that has seen them heavily tipped for the title.

Alan Shearer believes Arsenal have 'no weakness' as they set their sights on the Premier League title. The Gunners are favourites to claim the trophy come the end of the season, having built a seven-point advantage at the top of the table after ten games.

Mikel Arteta's side kept hold of top spot with a 2-0 victory against newly-promoted Burnley on Saturday - Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice scoring the goals at Turf Moor. And in the aftermath of that win, Shearer claimed that he can't see a reason why Arsenal can’t eventually be champions.

"I can't see a weakness," the former Newcastle striker said. "They've scored again from a set-piece but there's been so much more than that in their performance. I like the way they're using [Riccardo] Calafiori and [Jurrien] Timber in advanced positions to create overloads and win set-piece opportunities."

It wasn't just Shearer who has been tipping Arsenal for glory this season after Saturday's victory. Arteta's opposite number Scott Parker also suggested that there are no chinks in the Gunners' armour.

"They're just a very, very good team," the Burnley boss admitted in his post-match press conference.

"They're a team who I believe have every single ingredient to go and win the league this season. In every facet of their game, defensively, attacking wise, set plays, they're a top, top team. We just fell a little bit short today."

And while praise for Arsenal has been forthcoming, Arteta elected to stay silent over his side's title ambitions and instead hailed his players for their performances at Turf Moor.

He said: "Very happy, as it's a really tough place to come. They've lost once [here] in 18 months, against Liverpool, with the last kick of the game from a penalty.

"I think we started the game exceptionally well. I think the first half was one of the best that we've played. Scored two goals, generated another two or three big chances and conceded nothing.

"That was a platform because in the second half, we dropped the standards, especially with the ball and with our intentions to take more risks and play forwards. But again, defensively, we were exceptional until the point of the free-kick. We were a bit lucky that it hit the post and we kept the clean sheet."

Arsenal will now turn their focus to the Champions League this coming week - as they take on Czech outfit Slavia Prague. The north London side are then back in action at the weekend with a trip to high-flying Sunderland.
