[Different patterns]

Here is the current odds for the Premier League winner this season.



Arsenal are quite the favourite, aren't they?    But it is totally normal of course. The level they are playing at is higher this season. And they are doing this despite having so many players injured as well!

I'm wondering whether this international break will be some help for them about this. Maybe some of their injured players would recover? Then Arteta can build his game even easier.

Haha, hope they stick to this and don't end up the season the way they have done over the years especially 3 years ago, when we thought they will finally be winning the league and all of a sudden, they surrendered an 8 points lead that very season and Manchester City finally won the league. Right now they are the clear favourites with very little odd, as we are seeing now, if things eventually turns the other way, their odd will increase. Football is just funny and that's what really makes it interesting.

Arsenal has been seen dominating the league but at the end they could not finish the league as winners though things have changed and their manager has improved in knowledge and he has gotten more experience on how to manage the team to ensure they start well and continue when the league gets tough so I don't expect him to make more mistakes this season as failure to win the league this season will see them not getting the league for another 5 years. All the times Arsenal performed well and City later won the league should be taken as a lesson Arsenal will have no excuse to give it they allow Manchester City to win the league from time this time around.

Last season and the one before, Arsenal were strong early and mid-season but around March/April, injuries and pressure made them slip.
When the title race heats up, Arsenal sometimes struggle to stay calm.They lose games they shouldn’t lose especially when they MUST win.
Arsenal can be favourites but people still don’t 100% trust them because of their history of crumbling at the end.But this season so far.They’re showing more maturity, stronger rotation, and fewer shaky performances.If they stay injury-free, they’ll finish stronger than the past two seasons.

Apart from Arsenal's players injury, arsenal are know for one specific thing which is topping the league in the first quarter of the tournament then losing form when all never expected know matter the quality of players, so that is what i can see in arsenals performance very soon except for Gods divine interventions. This season Arsenal had a wonderful dominating strength in there demostic league and European football, making them favourite to be crowned champions at last but that won't be an easy task for them

All of that changed and only a biased football fan would not see that. This good style of football and form of Arsenal was not built on luck, they fought hard to get to this level for the past three campaigns. With the available squad Mikel Arteta will do all he can to win the league this is a lot different than what it used to be. The mentality 9f the players brought in are players who want to fight and win trophies. It is necessary to have players who want to take constant risk every single game until the end. All the injured players are returning this month. It will be a great experience for Arsenal fans.

International breaks often have detrimental effects on teams, some significantly, while others can be addressed by the coach, So far I've seen Mikel Arteta perform quite well and maintain stability, However with the season still so long, there's no guarantee that Mikel Arteta can maintain Arsenal's form like it did at the start of the season.

I'm not particularly concerned about Arsenal's injured players, as the squad has adequate replacements to maintain stability, However the question remains whether Mikel Arteta has successfully resolved the issues they've faced in recent seasons, namely the team's mentality to maintain performance until the end of the season, That can only be proven at the end of the season, with no answers yet.

Arsenal are doing very well this season. Thy just have to continue with their current form and make sure they hold on to the end of the season. If they can held on till their injured players are back they will be untouchable. One player that Arsenal can't afford to lose to injury is Gabriel who has been the one coordinating their defense. I feel if Gabriel should get injured, Arsenal title hope will collapse.

[henmark]

To be fair City has been struggling for a season or so. But the weirdest one is that Liverpool is still looking like third highest odds to win it while they are doing so horrible. Oddmakers have hard time changing stuff, but it is quite not worth it and fair anymore. Giving them 11.00 odds when they are 8th team right now, 8 points away from the top, is not fair at all and should not be considered as 11.00 odds when other teams with lower odds are higher up in the standings.

The famous United that lost to grimbsy this season is literally higher ranked than Liverpool right now and they have 41.00 odds for example. I am saying this, not because I think LFC will win it, but if anyone bets on them and wins, they should get more than 11x.

[doomloop]

The season is still kinda long if you ask me even though arsenal is currently leading the table and no one can be confident enough to say that arsenal will win the English premier League and that's because we have all seen this type of display and performance from the gunners before in the past and I really don't want to start hoping and then the same whole storyline that plays out turns out to play again. Although this time around they look quite different in their attacking force but who knows if they can keep and maintain their stand at the trophy.

27 rounds left many changes can happen because January transfer window and injuries are always had serious impact on clubs performance, but one thing is surely Arsenal is doing good job, and they are having good chance of staying at the top of league table which will give good soccer to watch.

Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool surely create problems but if they are able to keep distance then surely this is going to be success for them Arsenal attack is having good performance but currently their defense is also giving them good support for staying at the top. Mikel Arteta is learning from his previous mistakes which always give them problems, and they were not able to have success at the end hopefully in this season they will stay consistent and have their much-needed success.

Arsenal really look like a team that has learned from past seasons, and you are right, there are still 27 rounds left, and the January window plus injuries can change the energy for any club, but so far Arsenal are handling things with maturity. Their attack has always been sharp, but this season the defense is stepping up as well, which is why they are able to stay near the top. The real test will come when City, Liverpool, and even Chelsea start putting pressure on them. Anf if Arsenal can actually maintain that gap and stay consistent, especially during the tough periods, then this might finally be the season Arteta gets the success he has been building toward.

Arsenal's revival is really visible this season, good performance can bring them to the top of the standings, the match is still long, success cannot be expected and we know Arsenal's performance is difficult to predict because it can suddenly drop. So far, Arsenal's performance has been very good, the only match against Manchester City, Liverpool, and even Chelsea is the tough right and whether Arteta is a lucky season for him, the season is still long and tough matches are still there, so you have to maintain that opportunity and remain consistent in looking for points in each match.

Okay, talking about the English Premier League table, currently I'm in on a Superbru paid pool. Suddenly, Sunderland caught my eye.. Why is Sunderland in fourth position? Just a sec, the proper question should be, how are they in the fourth position? They just got promoted, right? They got one point against Arsenal, who are at the top of the table by the way. And they were also able to win against Chelsea.

Can someone tell me what's going on ? huh How did the team that was not even in the English Premier League last season get so good right after getting promoted? I do not expect this kind of good performance from a team that has just gotten promoted. I think most of you expect that team to hang around the bottom of the table. Maybe fight for not to avoid relegation &  stay in the English Premier League. however they are really giving a good competition for the top three positions, at least till now. Of course, there is still a long way to go in this season

Arsenal is not going to last at the level they are now and by the time we get to the mid season of the premier league, I don't think Arsenal will maintain that top level they are currently. It's quite unfortunately that this is not the first time this is happening to Arsenal and I think they should have learned from their past nightmare about what could happen to them if they don't maintain the level they are now.

Just like your name, I just hope Arsenal has a different pattern this season because if it's still that their old pattern then it's still going to be business as usual for them. Although, there has been some slight improvement from how they have been playing before to stay top compared to previous seasons. I'm only hoping to see how the team will perform under serious pressure. Before now, when the going gets tough and the pressure is high, we often see them succumb to it and start losing points which will eventually lead them to losing the league. This season I just hope they have a different pattern to it because if they don't, I'm sorry to say it's still going to be same old Arsenal that we used to know.

Chelsea have got a gem on their hands, William Estevao have continue to impress both in club level and in the national team. This kid have now got 10G/A in all competitions for both club and country this season already. This kid is going to create wave, the way he carried himself is so different, he his humble and everyone love and want to help him.

We have seen Maresca compared him with Cole Palmer in terms of individual ability, he said they are very similar in qualities and he his willing to help him develop to his highest peak, he even went to say it a privilege for him to coach such a quality player in his coaching career. He have also seen how Ancelotti have Also said some impressive things about the kid.

I think if can stay away from injury this kid might be the next big thing in Brazil since the coming of Neymar.

and finally everyone is saying the same thing over and over again about their doubts about Arsenal who are unlikely to come out as champions again this season, it's not strange indeed, Arteta repeated it again, but today is just speculation and we don't know how far Arsenal will maintain their leadership at the top of the table, because surely they will also take advantage of the transfer market to strengthen their team and their strategy to be more in the next year especially.

Like I always said Arsenal for now will maintain there position on the league table as usual not until the middle of the season there misbehavior will begin and they start losing matches and reducing points. Arteta has tried his best for Arsenal but no good results to show exactly was wrong with them at all times not winning the league title despite there hard working playing good games and winning at the top of the league but at last they end up not carrying the trophy.

There has been different speculations about how Arsenal could maintain the top position they are and if some of their players get injury, that may affect the whole team and the chances of team not falling below the top could be slim. I am not wishing Arsenal to fall below the level they are now but it's obvious that this is not the first or second time Arsenal has been toping the league to later discover that they could no longer sustain the top seat.

People and the bookies believe Liverpool will comeback, hence the odds for Liverpool are small. We're not yet in the middle of season, so there's enough time to change, not all strong teams will have a good start.

I think many teams who won Premier League were having bad start, they're not really dominating on the field.

What I'm sure is Arsenal won't be the champion.

The limit is until march next year that if Arsenal can able to maintain their current position until that month i think the title will belong to them and actually compared to last season Arsenal squad is very complete now because last season they were lack of attacking player but now they have Gyökeres although from goal record he is still not satisfied but so Gyökeres is the best attacking player which Arsenal has

Chelsea development indeed very good from last season i can says their performance is getting better but if we speaking about Arsenal contender i think we cannot ruled out Manchester City because Guardiola has found good formula for Manchester City besides that Haaland also has found his shape too and my prediction for the title is Arsenal and Manchester City is the strong candidates

In as much as I'm not trying to bring negative energy here but I'm nearly convinced that this season's title belongs to Manchester city from the look of things. Liverpool is currently not in form after their multiple records breaking signings this season. Liverpool don't pose any threat compared to what Manchester city will pull up forthwith. Arsenal is better defensively but not really good at the attack level. If we all agree that Gyokeres is their best attacker for the season, he is not in any match with his likes as he has only 4 league goals so far with 2 in the UCL. He still has to step up his goal conversion and get irreplaceable. Arteta has done really good job in the team and arsenal management too have tried for him by giving him such opportunities and time to lift the title unlike Manchester United who sent off their coach after winning 2 trophies in two seasons.

Arsenal is only 4 points away on the table and any draw would endanger their hope as I know Guardiola is up to something surprising this season. I may be forced to say that arsenal practically can't hold the top spot beyond December not to talk of march next year. I love Epl especially their unpredictable pattern of doing things.

[Adbitco]

This is the problem Arsenal have, and if they face a run of several losses again, I think City will overtaking them. But even without that they may drop points in the upcoming rounds because they have two difficult derbies against Tottenham and Chelsea, and between them they will play Bayern in the Champions League. So I assume that even this could be something City can take advantage of if Arsenal allow them to do so.

It will be a huge problem and even more of a disappointment for them if they repeat what happened to them about 3 seasons ago for the second time. I know how derby games are and very difficult. Arsenal are in a better shape than these other team for now although, being in a better shape doesn't guarantee that you will win but they need to try, instead of a loss, a draw is way better. If they can at least draw the big matches instead of losing and winning the small ones, then they have the best chance of securing the league.

[ITExpert]

I am not sure about their performance next, because I often saw them like this before. They are strong at the beginning, stable, and at be top of the standings but when the end of the season arrives, their performance declines, many mistake they make that lead to concessions, and hard to get a win. I don't know if Arteta has overcome this because the opponent knows how to beat them when they lose of spirit, and confident at the end of the session. Manchester City is a club that understands how they work, so in that situation, they will shift Arsenal's position immediately.

Yes, I think this is the problem they are genuinely having. They need to overcome this serious issue with their performance which is not constant throughout the season. This is the reason which makes other teams build their policies by keeping this thing in mind against them how to defeat them in the time when they really lose their confidence and support. They should change their behaviour if they don't this simply means that they are willing to give their space to others. Because this is something on which they can control by doing a little effort and get a desired place in fact a deserving place. They have the best players and a strong squad which plays as a team they just need to highlight the issues which cause them to be not strong or efficient at the end of the season.

Arsenal are a team that play accurate and compact football. They keep possession, settle into their shape and, if necessary, sit back and protect the score. They owe this to their excellent midfield and defensive line. The interesting thing is that Arsenal can be very dangerous when they have possession and settle in the opposition's half, but they seem to avoid doing so deliberately. You can easily see this in matches where the team is behind. This team is not lacking in productivity, either physically, organisationally or in terms of individual talent; on the contrary, it is a very productive team. During these transitional years when other teams struggle, they might become champions without difficulty thanks to the standard they've achieved. That's what is happening this year too.
