It's hard to imagine arsenal will able to win PL this season. Another competitor is just coming up like liverpool. The competition is even stricter this time than before. I can't sure if arsenall will able to make it as there are some potential candidates behind it.
My feeling said that if liverpool and manchester city can also become the strongest candidate to take EPL this season. City is much more favorable for me despite many potential sanction that will be received by manchester city.
Agree that Arsenal tends to falter and drop points in crucial moments. But my feeling about Arsenal this year is different; they seem stronger and more mature with the current players, coupled with Arteta being at the peak of his coaching career. He has enough experience and talent to lead Arsenal to win a cup this season. Saying this might be a bit premature, but I believe this year Arsenal has the right blend of timing, circumstances, and personnel to clinch the cup.
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have climb down to second and third spot on EPL table. Arsenal are ontop of the EPL table again and this time, they are coming for every valuable points in EPL. Mikel Arteta men narrowly escape a draw tie against Brentford, after Kai Havertz scoring injury time to give Gunners the lead. Perhapes they have top rivals who don't relent and will give 100% of their best qualities towards their oppositions. Currently, Arsenal becomes the ultimate target of every elite team, they would do anything to bring down Gunners from the top because every team have ambition and will do anything to reach the top.
- Standing at the top and the first position is never easy. Teams below are always looking for ways to pull them down. Tottenham might maintain the top spot for a few rounds with a streak of consecutive wins, but just a few stumbles, and they could lose the top 4 positions.
- Arsenal, I believe, will have more experience in maintaining their position. But clearly, the heat coming from Mancity and Liverpool is significant. This year's race is extremely intense; Arteta may not compare to Pep and Klopp in terms of quirks and experience, but Arteta's sharp thinking is a weapon that can create surprises for this season.
