An eerie omen predicts who will win this season’s Prem if Arsenal come out on top

ARSENAL climbed to the top of the Premier League table with a late dramatic win over Brentford.

The Emirates exploded when the much-maligned Kai Havertz rose to head home a Ben White cross in the 86th minute.

The 2-1 win helped the Gunners leapfrog rivals Liverpool and Man City.

This campaign’s title race promises to be the most exciting ever, with the three parties able to claim real contenders.

Liverpool and Man City will face off against each other in a mouth-watering clash at the Etihad on Sunday.

It is the last time, at least on our shores, that legendary managers Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola will face each other.

While Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hopes to become a Premier League winner for the first time, just like his rivals

But if an eerie omen is to be believed, the title’s destiny may just be foretold.

A small statistic that helped Man Utd become champions in 2009, Liverpool in 2020 and Man City in 2021 has been unlocked by one of the three title rivals.

Arsenal have joined that bunch and have now become only the fourth team to win each of the first eight Premier League games of a calendar year.

That could indicate that the title could go to North London this season.

However, they worked hard to beat a well-drilled Brentford side.

Things looked better when Declan Rice headed Ben White’s brilliant cross in the 19th minute to send the fans wild.

But Aaron Ramsdale took too long with his free move just before half-time, and when Yoane Wissa closed it down, the ball ended up in the net.

Arteta’s side toiled in the first half and eventually got the winner through German star Havertz, after great work from Ben White and a brilliant cross.

They were three crucial points that could see the Gunners end their two-decade wait for the Premier League.
