I'd find it hurting if they don't win this Competition because it'll definitely take another long term before they eventually come close like they did last season and this exact season.
For the game against Crystal Palace today, it's another London derby yes I know but Arsenal won't be losing this particular fixture truly.
It is very important for Arsenal to win today, this will allow them to compare on points with Aston Villa and break away from Tottenham, which, with further losses of points, will be able to push Arsenal out of the top 4. Yes, this is another London derby, which will not be easy, but where else can Arsenal break this losing streak if not at the Emirates. The victory for Arsenal is very important, Liverpool already has a 5 point advantage...
They will fail in the EPL title race this season because the competition is very tight at the moment, especially since the point difference will be further away and difficult to catch up if Arsenal get unsatisfactory results in today's match, I know they have fought hard and tried to be consistent, but Arteta doesn't seem to have learned from his failures last season, he couldn't rotate players well so when key players were injured he couldn't do anything other than get bad results in the last two matches they suffered unexpected defeats.
Playing at the Emirates home stadium in front of all their supporters will certainly be a strength for them to be able to play optimally and not disappoint all their supporters, the betting market also favors them, chances are they will win easily in today's match. I hope so
