Arsenal rivals put on notice as ‘worrying’ title claim made after Hull City win

Pundits Danny Murphy and Jamie Redknapp have warned Premier League rivals that Arsenal's commanding position at the top of the table is an ominous sign for the title race. Following a 1-0 victory over Hull City, Mikel Arteta's team opened up a six-point lead after winning nine of their first 10 league matches, despite what analysts view as sub-peak form.

Speaking on Match of the Day, Murphy called Arsenal's ability to consistently accumulate points without hitting their stride 'worrying for everyone else.' Meanwhile, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp suggested Brighton could currently be Arsenal's closest challengers, predicting the Gunners will run away with the title amid Manchester City's recent run of three straight defeats.
