Gunners on target for the title as foes wobble at halfway stageListen to this articleIt's just past the halfway mark in the Premier League season and Arsenal are currently being tipped to win their first title in nearly 22 years, sitting seven points clear of nearest challengers Manchester City and Aston Villa. Although the Gunners have let such leads slip in the past, this season they are being helped by the erratic form of their main rivals. The depth of their squad is proving to be an important factor which has also contributed to impressive results in the Champions League. Defending champions Liverpool were pre-season favourites but are not looking anything like the team which comfortably won the title last season. Currently in fifth place are Manchester United whose recent defeat of City in the Manchester derby was their best performance in ages.
