Many factors might have played a major part but one of the most evident factor is that Mikel Arteta\u2019s team now has difference makers.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the four different makers currently propelling Arsenal to the EPL title.<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Olexander Zinchecko<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/46c82730738f485481011facd1a85095\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The former Manchester City defender has been a big addition to Mikel Arteta\u2019s team, it isn\u2019t just about his performances but his mentality and leadership has been of immense importance to Arsenal\u2019s form this season.<\/p>\n<p>His performances against Tottenham and Manchester United are a perfect example of what he brings to the table, he isn\u2019t the traditional left back neither has he played the inverted full back role at Arsenal, he appears to have been given the free role where he is allowed to roam the central areas of the pitch and utilize his top passing and creative abilities.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Thomas Partey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The defensive midfielder has been the glue connecting the Arsenal defence to Odegaard and the Arsenal attack, it\u2019s no surprise that Arsenal\u2019s only defeat this season is a game he didn\u2019t play in, the fact that Thomas Partey is yet to lose a game this season is testament to how better the Arsenal team is with him.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fc9683ff0dae4887a91e4e3502e7d3b1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>3<strong>.

His goals and assists have continuously won Arsenal games.<\/p>\n<p>4.<strong> Martin Odegaard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last but not the least is the captain of the team Martin Odegaard, he isn\u2019t the most influential player in the team but he certainly knows how to lead by example his goal and assist tally has entered double figures as he continues to be the creative fulcrum for the team.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/f18329328340487da390d910b4077a8a\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Other notable difference makers are Aaron Ramsdale, Granit Xhaka and more recently Gabriel Magalhaes.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: ugnwachukwu (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
