As the points gap between Arsenal and Manchester City narrows day by day, Arsenal needs to translate their Champions League success to the Premier League. Because in their last few matches, Arsenal haven't played like their own team. Their consecutive dropped points have brought Manchester City back into the title race. If they remember the years when Manchester City came from behind to win the championship, they'll understand just how precarious their situation is. Therefore, Arsenal needs to start a winning streak as soon as possible.

Arsenal's weakness this time around is getting deteriorating compared to the way they started in the beginning of the season,  when they started this season they where very dangerous that all teams where afraid of them but now why they don't portray such qualities is what is getting me confused at the moment. Before the second quarter of the tournament they where so dominating that Manchester city lost hope of competing for the same trophy but now because of there inconsistency in there previous games, hope of competing with them have being given to Manchester city and city is a team that easily capitalised on every opportunities when ever it comes. Therefore if Arsenal still continue with such spirit, i doubt if they will still stand a chance to win the trophy.

It is just four points between Arsenal and Manchester City, which is not that much, as they still have many matches to be played in this Premier League competition. At this point, I was not expecting Arsenal should be losing points because it is not a tougher time in other competitions like the Champions League and other competitions. Because when it gets to the tougher period and Arsenal are still in the competition, they will surely drop points because they will be benching some of their players for the tough matches like in the Champions League. So now they really need to keep the points gap wide, but they are already messing up. In the last three matches of Arsenal, they have not been able to win any; they drew two and lost one. We don’t know what they will play in their next match, but what makes them draw or lose any match now? I will just give up on Arsenal for winning this season’s Premier League because it seems that it is the same problem they will be facing every season. This is what they have been doing in the last three seasons: they will start well, but toward the ending they will mess up the opportunity.

They helped Manchester City and Aston Villa reducing difference with Arsenal to only four points rather than 7 points, and it brings more pressure to Arsenal in coming matches. With Manchester United, hopefully their two winnings recently will motivate their players improving more and performing better in next matches.

Well, the difference seems large in points, but in reality it's not that much If the most Important teams lose (because it can happen) and MU continues its good streak , the difference decreases , making things quite possible For now , MU is generating excitement , and to be honest, I like this a lot , there's a different atmosphere.

what do you mean? Remember bro you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket like Arsenal focusing on the UEFA Champions League title and the English premier League title this year is a very smart move to me, and talking about dropping points even the so called Manchester City that everyone keeps worrying about is not really what they use to be in recent seasons like to me Manchester City is never a threat because the chance of Manchester City losing a match is higher than that of Arsenal, but my concern here is Aston Villa like the way those guys are keeping consistent they might shock the world at the end of the season.

Signing Gyokeres can not help Arsenal to win the league, i have said it from the beginning that striker is not the problem of Arsenal, how many goals any Arsenal attackers have scored this season, many of the attackers have not scored for the past 13 games, Gyokeres has not score 10 goals for the club and when he is in sporting he is scoring goals like machine and make many top club wants to sign him, he even ignored some clubs and chose Arsenal over them.

Gabriel Jesus and Havertz are better than him because they are legends when it comes to scoring goals, they know how to score when it matters most, Arsenal and Arteta have shown why they don’t have winning mentality, Arsenal will later sell some players at the end of the season even though the players is still in good shape because they will want to sign a player that have winning mentality and it will also affect Arteta if he did not win the league title this season.

The difference is that we are seeing Arsenal being a defensive team, so obviously not everyone will score bunch of goals. But I am talking about comparison here, Gyokeres has been their best striker in the last five years, with the amount of goals he scored. Sure he doesn't score as much as Haaland, but even Haaland wouldn't score as much if he played for Arsenal.

This is a team that is doing great by not conceding goals, let me put it this way, out of 8 games in UCL, they conceded only 4, and yet scored 23 goals. Most goals by any team and smallest amount of conceded by any team. Gyokeres is fine in my book, I think he is doing what he needs to do and I would not prefer Jesus over him, that dude is not as great as people think.

The gap is now 4 pounds counted in the standings, it is clear that this is very close to being caught by Manchester City, the current situation is not safe for Arsenal at the top, he really has to return his victory in the premier league otherwise they will really lose the chance to get another trophy this mini season, they have felt how failing in the last seconds is more painful than losing from the start because it is like eating food that is new until your neck has to spit it out again, it is unpleasant and makes you feel tight.

There have not being bad altogether its just they were quite unfortunate to have lost the game to Manchester United of which I believe they will bounce back and win their next premier league game against leeds United away, although Leeds United are also not an easy to get points from especially when you are playing from away and arsenal are well aware of this and I believe arteta will do something tactical to get the three point because anything aside from victory will make the pressure increase on them.

A phase like this was always expected since goals were coming from defenders and set pieces. When you look at arsenal attackers they barely score or even assist in the league and in football strikers wins you games, Without your strikers scoring goals then definitely it will be very hard to win games, I just hope they can get back on track and start winning if not it won’t take too long before Manchester city take over.

Manchester city are looking more like that club we all know, especially since they got Marc Guehi on their team, they now look more strong defensively. For sure they would now be able to mount pressure on arsenal and now it now left for the gunners if they can get it to the finish line this time around. There is still a long way till the season ends so let see how it going to be this season.

The Arsenal team is known for the attitude of starting strong at the beginning of the season, only to later have a weakened performance, to lose matches they never thought to lose towards the end of the season. What we don't know at it stance whether Arsenal will allow what has happened to them three times to repeat again because how will it be like Manchester City stripped off the Premier League title from them. It will result in Arteta being sacked because no excuse from him this time, not lifting the Premier League title

Arsenal need to immediately get up and get back to winning ways again, and it must start from this week, besides that Arteta also needs to fix the problem of attack, the lack of scoring goals from the game and more often utilizing corner kick situations or passes from free kicks, no longer as effective as at the beginning of the season, Arteta needs to make a difference, so that the trophy is not lost again.

Their difference is back to 4 points and this is the same as the previous few weeks so Arsenal's chance is still very large to now remain in a comfortable position but with a note that they must continue to improve their performance so that this condition does not bring them closer to the fate of the previous few seasons where they were always very good at the beginning and middle of the season but slowly approaching the end of the season they were inconsistent which made the top position of the standings just disappear.

3 weeks with 2 draws and 1 loss is definitely not a good thing but on the one hand their momentum is still there especially in yesterday's match on matchday 8 of the Champions League most of their players were rotations which Arteta certainly prepared players for this week in the EPL.

Facing Leeds in conditions they won in terms of mentality and quality but seeing the performance could be a problem especially since Leeds will definitely play with their defensive scheme.
Arsenal must 3 points to make their position remain comfortable.

This is what makes it exciting. When we reach  the middle of the season, the race will become even tighter, and  sometimes surprises can happen at any time. The gap is getting closer and  Arsenal are now in a precarious position, because one defeat can lead to another, and that is what they must avoid at all costs. Arsenal may be fortunate because Man City has also been  struggling in recent times, otherwise, they would likely be sitting above them or only one point away. It's not just Man City, Arsenal should also be wary of Aston Villa, that have the same number of points as Man City.

There is so much pressure on Arsenal to perform, and I think it’s getting the best of the players. Even though Arsenal won their game Champions League match last night against Kairat, their performance was not convincing enough for me. They missed chances that they were supposed to score to bury the game. If anything, that game showed how much Arsenal needs Havertz in their attack, Gyokeres is not just a good match for Arsenal.

[pawel7777]

Out of the 8 clubs that directly qualified to the round of 16 of the Champions League, 5 are Premier League clubs. The dominance is unreal. Arsenal got through with 100% win ratio.
Newcastle is the only English club that ended up outside of the top 8, but they're not very far behind, at 12th place with 14 points earned.

Man City got really lucky yesterday to have finished 8th. They wouldn't have done it if not for Benfica's surprising beating of Real Madrid. The Citizens did their job pretty well, defeating Galatasaray 2-0, but it could be more important that Erling Haaland finally unblocked himself and scored an early one, after having quite a few games without a goal. It's an optimistic sign ahead of their next game against Tottenham on Sunday.

Manchester City have always been in the title race, but Arsenal's recent losses have given them another great opportunity. Arsenal absolutely need to break the cycle of previous years they need to go on a winning streak, widen the points gap, and prevent City from closing the gap. The closeness of the title race makes it even more exciting the league is already one of the most thrilling, and their fight for the championship is fantastic.

They helped Manchester City and Aston Villa reducing difference with Arsenal to only four points rather than 7 points, and it brings more pressure to Arsenal in coming matches. With Manchester United, hopefully their two winnings recently will motivate their players improving more and performing better in next matches.

Well, the difference seems large in points, but in reality it's not that much If the most Important teams lose (because it can happen) and MU continues its good streak , the difference decreases , making things quite possible For now , MU is generating excitement , and to be honest, I like this a lot , there's a different atmosphere.

The most important thing is staying consistent, any team who performs poorly now including Arsenal will definitely reduce in points. From my view the points difference is not that high, as a matter of fact Arsenal should consider winning the next match against Leeds United by all means else they might not win the epl title this season. Manchester United is another strong force aiming for the title obviously the team improved so quick and anything can happen, there’s still more time and I don’t doubt if only they continue winning.

[kriminall]

Yes, Arsenal need to get back on track quickly and play as well as they used to under Arteta. They're putting on some great performances in the Premier League this year, and I'd say this is their most deserving year for the title. I really want them to achieve it this year. But of course, they shouldn't fall behind in the fight. They need to be prepared for the difficulty of the Premier League and approach every match like a final. Perhaps this year Arteta will finally get the championship title.

Well from my own perspective I think the Arsenal players are really on the side to win this game by all means well I feel if their push through or harder at the end mother luck might eventually smile on them well I have come to understand that football is a game of hard works, luck, tactics, which it might looks like there are not getting there, well I feel more points might be earned if there get there.

[Dzwaafu11]

Well from my own perspective I think the Arsenal players are really on the side to win this game by all means well I feel if their push through or harder at the end mother luck might eventually smile on them well I have come to understand that football is a game of hard works, luck, tactics, which it might looks like there are not getting there, well I feel more points might be earned if there get there.

Any other talk aside, Arsenal will win this match. They will do everything possible to win this match, it’s very important one for them, Football is full of surprises, Luck, hard work, and tactics you said, my team have them all, u trust them, the premiere league is for them this season, they will do everything possible to win the match.

Infact their remaining matches are matches that is important for Arsenal, because to me the league getting to the stage where we don’t need too much of loses, we need to score points, to get this title. Arteta boys are ready.
