Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka scored goals as Arsenal upset Man United 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium.
For Erik ten Hag's team, goals were scored by Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford.
“They are in a great place. There is a nastiness to them and they know what they need to do on the football pitch,” Keane told Sky Sports.
“It will take a lot to stop them. It was a pressure game [on Sunday] and they dealt with that well."
Mikel Arteta side have been dominating teams in the league especially at home, their only draw came against Newcastle United which resulted in a goalless draw.
While Southampton held Arsenal to 1-1 draw at the St Mary's stadium last year before The World Cup break.
Manchester United remains the only team have defeated the Gunners so far after 19 games played.
Keane added: “They are in with a great chance of winning the league.”
