Few fans expected the club to shine as they did, especially when compared to the legendary side of the 2003/04 campaign.
Under Arsene Wenger, Arsenal won the Premier League in their Invincibles season with 11 points, scoring 73 goals in the process.
While the team is widely regarded as one of the best in the premier league, Mikel Arteta's side have now surpassed that scoring record with 74 goals this season. Arsenal's impressive form this campaign has earned them 74 points, meaning they are just 16 points behind the Invincibles' 90 total - a goal that is entirely achievable with seven games left. again.
It all depends on whether the Gunners can get their form back in the coming weeks.
Arsenal took a two-goal lead against West Ham at the weekend when they dropped points in a 2-2 draw, the second time in a week they have lost a win after taking the lead.

With Manchester City under strain, Arteta's men will need to get back on track when they host Southampton this weekend.
After the Saints clash, Arsenal face a particularly difficult set of fixtures as they take on Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Wolves before the season ends. Five wins and one draw will be enough to equal the 90-point record set by the Invincibles, which is something Arteta's side are keen to do as they aim to put their current side firmly in Arsenal's history books.
