Arsenal's main problem has always been with consistency. So far in this season they have done a good job. Of course the loss against Manchester United wasn't good but they are still the leader in the standings. The most important parts of the season will be the dates that they play against the other big teams of the league. If they continue to get losses or draws in those matches then it is difficult for them to remain a serious title contender for this season.
Arteta has a much more solid squad after new transfers. This season is a big opportunity to do more than just finishing it in top 4. They should be able to fight for the league title until the end. Their job is very difficult especially against Manchester City as they are even stronger after adding Haaland to the team. I assume that we would have a better idea of what teams would be in this rivalry after the end of the first half of the season.

Undergoing a busy season because playing in several competitions, of course, it takes a balanced squad depth, both the core and reserve squads, for the core players we can say that Arsenal have a capable squad but this is not accompanied by a good reserve squad, so when Arteta rotates players, it is very obvious that arsenal's game is far from good and it is difficult to face weak teams like Zurich some time ago, besides that Arteta has difficulty making substitutions when a player is injured and actually makes them weak because they don't have a suitable substitute, The real case was seen when Elneny and Partey were injured and missed against Manchester so Arteta had to field Lokonga who I think is not strong in defense.
That means you can't expect much from Arsenal this season. The team that has a great chance of winning the title is the team that has an equally good substitute squad and main players. I don't think Arsenal is one of them, but some of the other top teams also seem to be the same as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. Their starting line-up is good, but when some players are out due to injury or something, the performance is very disappointing. I also forgot to mention that Manchester City also have the same problem, but I think they only have problems in defence.I would say Manchester City will be the favorite to win the title this season. Arsenal however is top of the points table. But it remains to be seen how long they can hold on to the top spot. Manchester City's gameplay and the squad are both stronger than Arsenal's.
But if we compare the Arsenal team with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, then Arsenal is more stable than these teams. However, we will have to wait a few more weeks to know which teams will participate in the title fight. Liverpool and Manchester United are trying to solve their internal problems. And their performance is now somewhat stable compared to earlier.
I think we can't be decisive in that even though Haaland has been the top scorer with 10 goals, Nunez is currently not giving his best performance and as for comparing to Mane I think it will be different but Nunez may need a little more time to process to become his front line is sharp and aggressive but I don't think I can conclude it myself but for sure Nunez still has good abilities at Liverpool and they are still relatively young so there is still a long time as a process of adaptation in Liverpool.
I think he should really pay attention to the tactical scheme used by kloop in order to support his performance. If you look at Sadio Mane when he was still with Liverpool he was the type of hardworking player who was able to control the midfield and front to pick up the ball with a strong physique that was a victory in keeping Liverpool's front line very aggressive last season. Well, since Mane departure, Liverpool seems to have not found their best performance in the last few matches. well if you say Nunez needs time to adapt I think it's a bit too late. 
It looks like Nunez has taken on the brunt of a position he has absolutely no control over at Liverpool. Replacing Mane up front is not easy. If we look at the current Mane is much more aggressive than at Liverpool and Nunez position will not be comparable to being able to match the Premier League with Haaland. I certainly agree that Haaland has shown a thirst for goals and has always had an aggressive level on the pitch more than anyone else. Whether it's true or not, for the time being, Nunez has lost quite a bit of prestige from Haaland.

nunez needs a lot of playing time to be able to hone his skills and also his sharpness as a striker so that Liverpool don't spend money in vain.

Arsenal's current weakness is that their back-up players don't seem ready to replace positions that are sometimes left by their main players. Looks like they have to find a way to make this worry not really happen. They have to make rotations that can work well in each position. Otherwise, as you said, the possibility of them losing their position in the standings is wide open.
You're right about that, it's not enough that they started the league well. Premeir League is one of the most difficult leagues and there must be enough players in the team, Arsenal can have a hard time if any injury occurs. I think they have a large enough roster right now, but it is very difficult to replace some players.
Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about this anymore

There are rumors about Ronaldo getting into Bayern Munich but Bayern has landed Sadio Mané, Matthijs de Ligt, and Mathys Tel, so getting Ronaldo is not possible, and there are said that management from Bayern Munich doesn't like how Cristiano Ronaldo is playing, because he doesn't do any team play and wants the spotlight for himself, he is like the Kobe Bryant of the football world but surely he is one of the best footballers in the world, but nobody wants to sign him, and pretty much he is old enough for a transfer,

How tired I am of reading this set of stamps about the fact that Ronaldo is not a team player and blah blah blah. Basically, this nonsense is generated by his haters. Ronaldo is number one in assists in the Champions League. He probably did these passes because he was selfish and to set a record, right?
Here is a good selection of how Ronaldo's partners dispose of his most brilliant passes, if I were him, I would stop passing altogether:

I don't think that Arsenal will be able to hold on to their performance until the end of the season because they don't have that much squad depth. Manchester City really lacked a lethal striker for the last few seasons after Sergio Aguero left. But now as they have bought Erling Haaland, they will really try to push for the Champions League title which they have been wanting to win for the first seasons but were unable to do so.
So far Haaland has shown what he is capable of as he scored 10 goals in only 6 matches. So far Chelsea and Liverpool have been playing their game this season so Manchester City might have a really good opportunity to grab this and be the best team in England and possibly Europe.
Inconsistent performance have been usually faced by Arsenal not in this season but also almost every season Arsenal can't hold the best performance until the end of this season. But have advantage with Arsenal start on Primer League because last six games have 5 won and 1 loss, settle first standing position is great achievement by Arsenal in this season.So far Haaland has shown what he is capable of as he scored 10 goals in only 6 matches. So far Chelsea and Liverpool have been playing their game this season so Manchester City might have a really good opportunity to grab this and be the best team in England and possibly Europe.
Manchester City have found and settle best striker in this season after Erling Haaland make Pep Guardiola sastified with his performance and success lead top scorer standing position awhile with 10 goals contribution in last six games. Not only success lead goals in domestic league but also Erling Haaland keep consistent scoring last two goals on UEFA Champion League against with Sevilla on first match.

Manchester City's form this season cannot be compared with Liverpool's poor form. Liverpool have some work to do to get them back to winning again. Manchester city are looking much more favorites to win the league again this season, Arsenal have showed they can be competitive but I doubt their squad is good enough to carry them till the end of the season.
Liverpool's inconsistency at the start of this season has made them doubtful about being able to continue to compete in the top flight. I think this season again belongs to Manchester City because they have a fairly complete squad so it's very difficult to beat. Arsenal are not strong enough to last until the end of the season, control the champions league zone until the end of the season I think something great achievement for them. Manchester United and Tottenham will be tight competitors and will be a bully to Manchester City.

It's relevant for me the start of the season is not bad but Liverpool is still a good standard even with 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 games for me it's still quite good even though the standings are in 7th place but I believe Liverpool can still rise in the UCL and EPL .
Whilst Liverpool will definitely get better as the games come, without mincing words it has been a very far from good start for Liverpool, i think they are five points behind City already, now imagine a situation were that gap widens, that prolly means Liverpool can forget about the title, so there is no question of that, Liverpool have started badly in the EPL. It has been them and City going hammer and tongs for the title for the past couple of seasons now, but if they don't improve, and fast, then it might be City and Arsenal, or some other team competing for the title this season.At least with this result Klopp is still quite safe even though the demands to continue to improve the team continue and indeed it must be done.

I think that this is to early to come to such conclusions although I agree with you,Manchester City needed a perfect striker from quite some years now,they were lacking in the Champions League because of that,especially last year where they got eliminated.In the Premier League though they are doing great again and having a squad depth means it can only increase your chances to become Champions especially when your contenders like Liverpool and Chelsea are screwing up game after game.
Moreover, Haaland's father was also a former Manchester City player. In this respect, Haaland may also have an emotional connection with Manchester City. Manchester City have not seen such a finishing striker since Prime Aguero era. They really needed Haaland and will want Haaland to play for many years to come.
Haaland has often been linked with Nunez this season as these two players both came to the EPL this summer. If Haaland is better then Nunez is the comparison and that is as common in today's era as Ronaldo and Messi. But looking at the performance of the two teams between Liverpool and Manchester city, Liverpool were slightly behind at the start of this season, in contributing to the team Haaland was better than Nunez because Haaland had proven his quality as a goal-hungry player. Nunez has not been able to repair the gap left by Sadio Mane which is what makes him slightly behind Haaland.
It looks like Nunez has taken on the brunt of a position he has absolutely no control over at Liverpool. Replacing Mane up front is not easy.

I find it difficult to see what is happening for Liverpool now because in terms of performance and attack they are still very good and actually their productivity is still very good in my opinion because they managed to score 15 goals but indeed in this case they are still struggling to become Targetman because the goals they create come from several different players.
Fifteen goals was because they were able to make 9 goals in 1 game against Bornemouth. I think at the moment they have not performed stable. Some games they lost. Though their players' stats are superior. Nunez as Mane's replacement has not been able to make Liverpool feel calm. When Moh Salah was locked they often had trouble making goals. Indeed their last Win against Ajax in the UCL. Actually, I was waiting for their game against Chelsea. But if you look at the schedule on google it seems that the match was also postponed.
but there is also an advantage for both of them to be able to focus more on training from the correction of the previous match.
Chelsea must also prepare their squad for other Champions League matches. Chelsea must be able to perform better with its new coach. before the match against a strong Serie A team in the Champions League.

Still, with their current condition and with their quality, it can still be called bad even though they only suffered 2 defeats earlier this season.
My initial expectation was that they played this very well at the start so when they didn't turn out as I expected it was clear it's still bad especially with their goal productivity which is arguably lacking at the moment.

It is undeniable that Liverpool's goal productivity is very low at the moment we don't even see any of their players on the top scorer list
Even though last season they had 2 players there Moh salah and Mane while Darwin Nunez who became hopeful hasn't done anything yet.

It has been them and City going hammer and tongs for the title for the past couple of seasons now, but if they don't improve, and fast, then it might be City and Arsenal, or some other team competing for the title this season.I think Liverpool's problem is that their offense doesn't work well reliably. If you deduct the 9 -0 against Bournemouth, they scored 6 goals in 5 games. Then also the game against Newcastle, which they won in the 8th minute of extra time. Yes City also has two ties in the EPL, but they have been very superior in almost all games. I don't have that impression when it comes to Liverpool and this is not to be confused with purely ball possession statistics. They do possess the ball more, they have more shots, but something has been missing for a couple of weeks now that usually made them so strong. If you then also take the loss against Napoli into account, it is quite evident that they are quite far away from their best level. The 5 points gap to City is still not as bad as it seems, but staying close to City is brutally hard anyway as we all know. If you want to put City under pressure you just can't give away points frequently. It is exactly when City ties a game that you need to be there.
