⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[JariKriting]

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.

You are right, Arsenal has experienced this for several seasons; they start very well at the beginning of the season but always slip at the end, even against weak teams that only end up in second place at the end of the season. But now there is a very capable striker, Victor Gyokeres, who can guarantee consistent goals for Arsenal. Meanwhile, on the wings, there is already Bukayo Saka who is very good. The midfield is already perfect with Declan Rice and others. The defense has been consistent in the last few seasons. Arsenal fans must be hoping that this season they can be consistent until the end and be able to win the English league this season, a prestigious trophy they have been waiting for for a very long time.

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.

Arsenal had already played both Liverpool and Manchester City so in all honesty if they truly want to be the champion I don’t even think they should be any bargain of them droping points again, the games against the two remaining big six which is Chelsea and Tottenham should be a game where Arsenal actually shows their true intentions of coming for the league so they should be winning almost all the games because any slip off now will allow Manchester City to take advantage and let’s be sincere if Manchester City gets any where that top of the table I can guarantee that it’s over for Arsenal, so Arsenal seriously needs to treat every game likes a final and stop droping points. Even draws are very bad for them in my opinion most especially against lower ranked teams

[ShowOff]

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.

If all the key players were available, I think Arsenal wouldn’t be afraid by any team at the moment. Unfortunately, their season has once again been disrupted by an injury crisis, which is worrying Arteta, especially with three tough matches ahead against Tottenham, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich. Arteta will still push his team to achieve the best possible results in those three matches, regardless of the current injury situation.

Playing it safe by aiming for draws is not the best way to maintain their position at the top of the table, Arteta must find a way to get through this difficult period while remaining consistent in securing victories. In my opinion, the matches against Tottenham and Chelsea are slightly easier to handle compared to the match against Bayern Munich, but it’s not impossible for Arsenal to take all three points, Arteta just needs a bit of luck.

[Iroh]

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 are still lots of games to play. Arsenal would need to fight tooth and nail if they wouldn't want a repeat of what happened in the past seasons where they'll look fine and on the verge of winning the league until they derail at the very last minute, losing out on winning the league title.
Perhaps, this time around, Arteta has a different approach and isn't planning to make the same mistakes he did the previous seasons. They're currently at the top, could they be able to retain their spot and eventually win the league title this time around? Their supporters certainly hope so.

[Juse14]

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.

Currently, the top three teams are trying to maintain consistency to pick up points in every match they play. And we'll see which teams are able to maintain their consistency. Arsenal is currently at the top of the table, but with the points gap they have and the relatively long season ahead, Arsenal can't afford to remain at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Liverpool seems to be resigned to the prospect of the title this season falling to another team.

And back to Arsenal, their next match will be against Tottenham Hotspur. This will be quite an interesting match to watch. Although Spurs' last two matches have been less than satisfactory, we can't underestimate Spurs. For Arsenal to strengthen their position at the top of the table, they must strive to avoid defeat or a draw.

[Ojima-ojo]

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.

Arsenal deserve to be Champions of the Premier League Competition this season. Losing three chances they had to win it should be enough motivation for every player in that sqaud. Thanks to the management who finally backed the manager with a huge squad depth. It is the reason why they are thriving regardless of the injured players.
Most of the injured players are meant to be back before  the ending of this month. Odegaard, Kai Harvertz,  Madueke and Gyökeres likewise.

For this season let us anticipate to see Asernal with More positive outlook that can change things for the club's in the other League not just premier League alone, although Asernal will definitely finish well this season on a good note, but all that depends on how they handle the upcoming games ahead.

Liverpool use to be a strong opposition, but at this moment Liverpool seems to be off for and could be seen as a club that can not distract Asernal in this season.

The biggest expectation in the Premier League this year is for Arsenal to win the title. My expectation is for Arsenal to win the title as well. My only concern is that they haven't maintained their consistency from previous years. If they lose consistency and start dropping points again, then we could start to see Arsenal's title hopes fade with poor results.

The level at which Arsenal is moving right now is highly encouraging because at the 11th or 12th game and they are still toping the league but they are still yet to the half of the league matches yet because they will still need to play 4 or 5 games before they can get to the half games placed already. If Arsenal would continue like this and even improve themselves in beating bigger games, their chances of winning the title this year is still high and encouraging for the fans to follow but I pray they don't disappoint as usual with Arteta strongly coordinating the squad will go a long way this season.

If they lose consistency and start dropping points again, then we could start to see Arsenal's title hopes fade with poor results.

Now we just have to see what Arsenal will do with their current condition because after all the momentum is still very good now but indeed a decline in performance can happen at any time especially we know that sometimes Arsenal in the middle of the season or the end of the season always falter.

At the moment we still can't conclude anything but if in the end when mid-season the same thing happens as the previous few seasons then I think Arsenal really won't be able to make the great expectations that they and the fans have to become champions must be buried again with the harsh reality where they only focus on position 2 as the end of their performance.

Exactly Arsenal Problem doesn’t even comes from the start of the season they are usually Great in the start of the season but suddenly you see them after the year Turns and the season enters second half you will see them start falling out, most of the problem back then was the squad depth and it caused them lots of game most especially against smaller opposition then and should they repeat same mistake now it will end in same faith for them.

Nonetheless I think Arsenal right have a better squad overall than they did had last season, to me it should be their season or else I don’t think Arteta will survive not getting sacked, he has been backed with so much and really needs to start delivering, or else he would be one of those managers who are actual good at building but not winning trophies

There's this feeling in me that they'll keep pushing for a while, they've built that wining mentality and they have good  defense, a balanced midfield and a fair attack, infact the team is solid this season and their depth is good not to even talk of the good stopper they have, I think they're more ready this season and we're yet to see their best, although it would get tougher each matchday but they'll scale through, that's my believe for Arsenal this season.

 Why people are just worried about their upcoming performance especially fans who still can't let go of the errors they've made the previous seasons is because Arsenal has got similar chances in the past and end up missing it so since Manchester City us close many people think Arsenal could drop but what if Manchester City drop points instead of Arsenal.

The only strong opponent Arsenal have now is Manchester city who may be quick to close the gap they have between Arsenal's number of points and theirs if Arsenal messes up opportunities in their up and coming games, this is why regardless of the fact that there are still several games to be played, Arsenal must make it an initiative to win every game and increase their points rather than lose points.

And it's also very risky for them to even lose that number one position because if they do, there is no form of guarantee that they will climb there again especially if Manchester city is the one up there, this season is a golden opportunity for Arsenal which I am really hoping they don't end up messing up for themselves and we the fans..

The biggest difference in Arsenal's performance this season is undoubtedly their goal-hungry striker, Victor Gyokeres. I believe he will bring significant change to Arsenal's cause until the end of the season. Arsenal's goal is certainly to win the title. They're tired of finishing as runners-up, so they must strive to avoid repeating the same mistakes this season.

Like Manchester City, they have recovered from their slump and have even closed the points gap with Arsenal. Perhaps next week we'll see an interesting competition, as Manchester City will face Newcastle United and Arsenal will face Tottenham. These two top teams will undoubtedly face tough matches, and if Arsenal can't win, Manchester City's chances of closing in on them will certainly be even greater.

Perhaps you should just stop bothering yourself about arsenal winning the premier league because there is so much time and games to play and even if they have played half of  the season it won't still tell for sure who will win the league despite who is at the top and if Arsenal wants to win the league they should try and win Manchester city i think in their next match so that the point will Increase and then they should also keep winning the remaining but we both know this is not as easy as we are saying it but that is what they should do if they want to win the league.

The club's loyal management, which consistently delivers what Arteta wants is proof that they are truly serious about their player composition. However such conditions aren't enough to improve their mentality and improve.

Arsenal's position at the top of the standings at the start of the season even midway through the season has actually been quite normal in recent seasons. However, if they can't achieve consistency it will be very difficult to realize their hopes of winning a trophy after a long absence.
Arsenal have always been good in terms of performance but the uncertainty of consistency as the schedule gets busier has slowly slipped them forcing them to accept that they are runner-up specialists.

My only concern is that they haven't maintained their consistency from previous years. If they lose consistency and start dropping points again, then we could start to see Arsenal's title hopes fade with poor results.

If Arsenal can be wining there tough games in the Premier League definitely they will surly achieve the Premier League title this season and after the international break if they can win Tottenham and Chelsea that will give them more motivation to continue chasing the league title. Because with how Manchester City are playing in the league currently they are ready to fight in the league and get the opportunity to win the league trophy this season let see how the competition will ends, but Arsenal can still continue be the favorite to win the title since they are topping the league currently and they won't like to lose any point in the league, but let's see how things will go but Arteta need to do all is best to achieve the league title this season.

[RockBell]

Arsenal had already played both Liverpool and Manchester City so in all honesty if they truly want to be the champion I don’t even think they should be any bargain of them droping points again, the games against the two remaining big six which is Chelsea and Tottenham should be a game where Arsenal actually shows their true intentions of coming for the league so they should be winning almost all the games because any slip off now will allow Manchester City to take advantage and let’s be sincere if Manchester City gets any where that top of the table I can guarantee that it’s over for Arsenal, so Arsenal seriously needs to treat every game likes a final and stop droping points. Even draws are very bad for them in my opinion most especially against lower ranked teams

After playing the club's and they survived the rest should not be a problem, and Arsenal already have everything that it takes to win the premier league so they should not even waste the opportunity they have now, Arsenal don't have any form of exuse this season and now, I don't even see both of them been a problem to arsenal because they have everything it takes to won and the moment Arsenal is able to pull this it will help them in busting there moral. And if arsenal fails to lose this opportunity then I don't think they are serious enough, and we know how Manchester city are Arsenal have to be mindful of them, because like you said if Manchester City should get hold of that position then arsenal will find it more difficult to come back.

They have some of their best players out and injured but they still find ways to win games. Ain't this what big clubs do?! Even Cristaino Ronaldo went ahead to say Arsenal could win the league. Without a shread of doubt, they're my favourite and best bet for this competition.  Manchester City and Chelsea are the only clubs most likely to fight with them for the tittle. As for Liverpool?! We can go ahead to say they're good as done. There's no way they are fighting for the league this way.  These two games against Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will sure be won in the league this month.

While Arsenal may look like the strongest club in the Premier League right now, this makes me even more skeptical about their fate at the end of the season.
After several failures each season, I'm hesitant to bet on Arsenal for the title. If it's a matter of risk, I'd rather back Chelsea for the title this season.
Overall, compared to Arsenal and Manchester City, Chelsea doesn't look convincing, but this is precisely what makes me a little more confident that if a surprise comes, Chelsea could win the title, which would offer a significant profit at odds 21

Arsenal having the lowest odds to win the English Premier league title this season is very understandable. They've been the best team in the league so far, just that many are still very doubtful about their chances of going all the way to win the league. Many of Arsenal players are currently with their national teams and that might really affect the team's results in the coming games. However, let's not forget that Mikel Arteta is the club manager and considering his tactical genius it's possible that they'll continue their winning streak after the international break
