The Gunners host Liverpool tonight - a pivotal fixture in which Arteta declared his team have a "point to prove" - sitting at the top of the table.
Arsenal, runners-up for the past three seasons, last won the title in 2004 when Arsene Wenger's team went undefeated in an historic campaign.
Arteta's players have amassed two more points and scored four more goals than the Invincibles did after 20 matches.
