The next 2 matches for Arsenal are actually quite easy, it's just that they will still be tested by Aston Villa, Brighton and Liverpool in December, which will definitely be very difficult to do.
Their chances of being able to stay at the top for a few weeks are actually still very big now, it's just that with a fairly busy schedule in December with quite tough opponents, this could be very difficult for them.
Currently their point are still very narrow because the distance between Arsenal and Aston Villa who are in 4th position is only 2 points.So in the next match if they lose even once
there will definitely be several clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City who will take advantage. that matter. But this also applies to the other 3 clubs because in the end currently the EPL is still very tight and still very difficult to predict.
Before Arsenal will be tested by Aston Villa, Unai Emery's squad will be tested first in the Manchester City match. which means, before they fight with Arsenal, Unai Emery will mobilize the strength of his team's squad to balance against the team that can be said to be the strongest team in the Premier League. losing in that match could have lowered their ranking to where they should be. Plus, after that Aston Villa must prepare to host Arsenal who are much more focused after securing their position in the Champions League. Apart from that, Aston Villa will have other tough matches, even though their opponents are not as strong as City or Arsenal.
On Arsenal's side, according to my version, their tough match came after the group phase against PSV. Arteta's squad will host a match against Brigthon, which often provides a surprise for any big team. after that, the match against Liverpool at Anfield, Liverpool's headquarters. If Arsenal were able to win every match, including against Liverpool. Thus, this team will have at least a point difference with Liverpool.
Meanwhile, City, if Pep focuses on making his team consistent, they have a chance to win match after match in this competition. And what's certain is that we'll just have to wait and see, after all, match after match hasn't been held yet. So far, we have only speculated from our own points of view. including me, as an Arsenal supporter.
