David Raya has declared that intense competition for first-team spots is propelling Arsenal's outstanding performance, with the keeper confident that the squad's depth under Mikel Arteta is so incredible that they can challenge for various titles throughout the campaign.

Stunning Victories Highlight The Gunners' Prowess

Arsenal's latest comprehensive win over Atlético Madrid represented their six consecutive wins and 10th success in 12 matches. Having let in just three goals—a record low at this point in the team's legacy—they have established a narrow advantage at the Premier League summit and a perfect record in the Champions League after three matches.

Rotation and Depth Crucial to Success

Raya has started in almost all matches, except for one domestic cup encounter, but the manager has consistently rotated the lineup following heavy spending on recruits. In response about chasing several pieces of silverware, he said, "Absolutely, I believe so. Our squad strength is amazing. We have many players who can excel in two, three, or four positions."

Like in the Atlético match, Mikel Merino came on as a striker and can also play as a central midfielder or No 10. That versatility is available to the manager, and it's being utilized to benefit the team. Things appear very, very good, and this roster strength is crucial for us.

Competition Drives Standards

Raya continued, "That provides an extra level in practice and matches because if you slack off, you can lose instantly. It creates intense rivalry in training and on the pitch, which is vitally significant, and everyone is on board."

Defensive Solidity a Collective Effort

The team have let in just a single goal from open play this season, and Raya has faced only one shot on target in their last three wins against Atlético, Fulham, and West Ham.

"It's a collective effort from the forwards to the goalie," Raya explained. "Everyone is focused, determined not to give anything away, and the goal is to cut out the ball prior to it crossing the midfield. If we intercept, we can launch a fast break. This is essential for everyone to feel that way, and opponents aren't creating many chances, which is perfect."
