What do Arsenal have now that they didn't before?

In part two of our Q&A with Arsenal reporter Alex Howell looks at what is different about the Gunners this time around.

Mason asked: What would you say Arsenal were lacking these past few seasons that made them miss out on the title, and do you think they have it this season?

Alex answered: It is an interesting question as I don't think it has been particularly one thing. Experience is obviously huge in a title race and, even though it might sometimes be forgotten, this is a young Arsenal team.

They will have built up that experience over the past three title races where they finished second too.

There are also the options in the squad.

Last season, the injury issues decimated the squad and made it very hard for Mikel Arteta to get a solid line-up or even rotate.

Just look at the difference this season. Arsenal are missing six forwards and although they are having to use Mikel Merino up top, they are still a very good side all over the pitch.

The main reason for the squad build in the summer was to increase the quality and depth - and maybe this will be the big thing which helps them get over the line.

Come back to this page on Friday morning for more of the Q&A with Alex, where he will start by looking at the possibilities for boss Arteta in January.
