Arsenal is one of the most outstanding teams of the current campaign. Mikel Arteta's team has had very good performances and has shown it on the pitch. Given this, the uncertainty about who will be the Premier League champion continues to generate many questions. For weeks, the national and international press claimed that no team could face Manchester City.

However, Pep Guardiola's side lost this weekend to Wolverhampton and put themselves at a disadvantage for teams seeking first place at all costs. It should be noted that Spurs saved City from not being relegated one or two places after their triumph against Liverpool. Klopp's side needed just three points to cement themselves as the new Premier League leaders

On the other hand, at the moment Arsenal and Tottenham are the only unbeaten teams in the competition. Both have shown a great level and have been recognized by the fans of the respective teams. Now, things in the UEFA Champions League for Arsenal are still on the right track. On the first day of this group stage, Mikel Arteta's team overcame PSV of the Eredivisie.

In turn, Arsenal will face the surprise of the competition, the Lens of France. The French team had outstanding performances last season. It is worth mentioning that until two years ago, The Gunners' rival was still in the second division. According to The Guardian, the team is making its return to competition after approximately 20 years of absence. Without a doubt, the difference in the value of the squad is enormous.

The price difference between both teams

While Arsenal have a squad valued at $1B, the RC Lens squad is nowhere near reaching The Gunners. According to Transfermarkt, the French team has a squad valued at $207 million, with its most expensive player being striker Elye Wahi valued at approximately $30 million. In turn, the most expensive player of Arsenal is Buyako Saka valued at approximately $120 million. This means that just two top Arsenal players can match almost the entire French squad
