With the 5-0 home win against Crystal Palace, Arsenal went back to winning ways following three winless matches in the Premier League. This win has kept Arsenal's title race alive, and they will not want to lose another match soon. Arsenal has overtaken Aston Villa to occupy the 3rd position in the Premier League.
Fulham did humiliate both Nottingham Forrest and West Ham by scoring 5 goals without conceded, yet they're struggle when they face top clubs. Crystal Palace is nothing different with them, a weak club, so I don't expect Arsenal will join the title race just by winning with big scores against weak club.
Although Arsenal has an advantage in terms of players availability than Liverpool...
Every match in the Premier League is a big game because you are not sure of taking the whole three points until you have played your match and won. Arsenal is already in the Premier League title race because they are in the third position in the Premier League table, with 43 points and two points behind the Premier League table leader.
I agree that every game in the Premier League is a big game. And sometimes matches that look easy to predict can be matches that are difficult to predict the outcome of. Even a strong team can lose to a weak team. As happened to Arsenal two weeks ago, when Arsenal lost to Fullham and West Ham. And yes, these two matches made everyone lose hope in supporting Arsenal in yesterday's match against Crystal Palace. But fortunately the assumption that Arsenal was weakening turned out to be not entirely true. Because they were able to bounce back and score 5 goals in one match very brilliantly.
And now everyone's hopes for Arsenal have returned and it looks like Arsenal can win again in the next match against Nottingham Forest. It's just that this is the Premier League. And anything could still happen and Arsenal could even get bad results again.
In simple terms, the competitive level of the Premier League makes all clubs very vulnerable to losing points, I agree with this statement and of course it is not only Arsenal that experiences this situation. There is no guarantee that the team challenging for the title will continue to win, be able to beat other contestants, and sweep all remaining matches in the future. There have been many surprises this season, and we have also seen several title-fighting clubs experience ups and downs in their performance. Arsenal, who have just won a big win over Crystal Palace, could be tripped up by Nottingham Forest in the future, this is an illustration of how competitive the League is. However, in my opinion, this victory is a signal that Arsenal is ready to attack Liverpool and Man City in the second half of the season.
Week 21 has 3 matches yet to be played, and one of the most interesting is the match between Liverpool and Bournemouth. We know that if the Reds stumble then City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham will be very lucky, where the points gap will not be wider. I'm sure the four clubs hope that Klopp fleet will lose points, and indeed Bournemouth are currently in pretty good condition. In short, when looking at Arsenal chances of winning from the perspective of the depth of the squad and the teams they beat, Liverpool should also be worried because they are not strengthened by their key player M Salah. Likewise, City is still missing Halaand, these are all challenges that must be overcome by a team challenging for the title.
On the other hand, I feel that the teams that occupy the top five in the standings should be grateful, because the other two clubs, Chelsea and Man United, are in unstable performance. We can imagine that if these two clubs performed consistently, perhaps the five teams would not necessarily be able to collect the current number of points. However, when these two teams have no chance of winning the EPL trophy, they will make themselves a stumbling block for the favorite team, I'm very sure of that. We will see how the Reds finish their match today, on paper they are much better, but underestimating Bournemouth is wrong.
