We all should expect a win from Arsenal against wolves, it’s going to be an easy win for them, Arsenal cant afford to lose or play a draw in a match like that. The match which I just think Arsenal are going to find difficult is their match against Tottenham, Chelsea and Brighton, and right now Arsenal are suppose to get a win in all those matches, their target isn’t suppose to be draw in any match which they going to be playing now, all what they  should focus on now is how they going to be getting 3 points in their matches.

We can’t really conclude on who is going to win the premier league this season, but if Arsenal are really serious, then they should be able to win the league this season if they stay consistent till the last match is played.

I'm very sure of Arsenal winning this game this game because if they don't they know what's at stake unless they are giving up on winning the title this season. At this point it is hard to predict who would win the Premier league title, Arsenal is the best choice but they are giving lots of chance to Manchester city right now. wolves are not in form so they shouldn't be much of a problem to arsenal.

Wolves is an opportunity for Arsenal to secure their three points but despite that they should not underrate them because football is full of surprises, wolves has been in a bad form since the starting of the season but take a look at when they play against Manchester United, manchester United struggle hard to even share point against them.

It is very difficult to predict the winner of the season because arsenal that was having hope before are misbehaving even though it wasn't at as deep as we thought, at this level now need to play each game as final so that they can be winning each match easily. Up to this moment i still see Manchester City as a big threat because the point gap is still very small for them to close up so Arsenal have to be up and doing for them to win this season.

Of course Manchester City remains a big threat and will be a big threat until the final whistle of the final game of the season. Arsenal probably might still win the league but it’s not going to be a big gap or winners before the final game.
Wolves game I believe Arsenal will win even though they struggled against Brentford in their last game, they have to use that as motivation and play better in this one if they are to be champions. They have to give it their all.

Here is how it looks in the PL standings after 26 matches left behind...



Just look at how Arsenal were able to get only 2 wins in their last 5 matches. Drawing with Forest - Brentford and losing to Manchester United home... Sad to see it as I want them to finally win the league championship.

Meanwhile there is a tough race for top 4. It's not easy to guess the one(s) who can make it. Let's say Aston Villa kept themselves there. Then I can just say Liverpool's chances would be even lower.

Wow when you look at the standing now who would have believed it would be like this a few weeks back, practically Arsenal were toping the league With 9 points and now it just 4 points, how have they managed to lost 5 points. Well for they are still top of the league and maybe they would be able to take it to the finish line this season or maybe they would bottle it as everyone who is not their fans is hoping. For me so far they have been a very good side this season and if they really can’t take it to the finish line then all the effort they have put in would be for nothing.

The race for a champions league football is intense this season and unlike last season when the premier was given 6 slot to play in the champions league this season it just 4 slot. For me I know it will still the big 4 that will get a champions league excluding Liverpool, I feel Aston Villa will fall off and Manchester United and Chelsea will get the spot.

Arsenal must win the title this season. next year will not be this easy. if they can't beat this stress now, they will wait 25 more years for a trophy imo it looks like Arsenal cannot really handle both champions league and premier league together. The squad is not deep enough.

Normally wolves is a team that is trying to come out of relegation zone so it wont be an easy game for Arsenal because those guys are definitely gonna play like their lives depends on it so Arsenal should be very mindful of them, but on a nut shell it is suppose to be a three good points giveaway for the Gunners but it seems Arsenal is in their normal settings like they have always been for the past seasons so i fear if they can really win this game like i really hope for them to win it because i can't stand it watching Manchester city life the English premier league this season again.

The first leg Arsenal played with Wolves, it was luck they had and move out of the game with 3 points. Similarly now, they are going to be playing away again. With what Arsenal is known for, I don't want to doubt them but they have a very bad way of not doing well. You see them doing good today and the next day they are doing bad. Anything that affect them now automatically means they might not stand a chance to win this Premier league again.

If you are planing on betting on this game, for your safety bet on Arsenal to win or draw. I'm very sure they will not allow Wolves to shame them even at worse, any goal they conceded will be return back. So it's either Arsenal win this game or they end up draw, that's the only way to save yourself from their recklessness incase they don't want to do well. Meanwhile, Manchester City will be hoping they do them dirty at this point, I don't trust their silence.

I don't know why this Arterta's team always love mounting pressure on themselves, they had a beautiful opportunity to maintain the 6 point gap on the table but they blew it up by having a draw with Brentford which is a very shameful performance for a team of that quality. Now if they loose any match and Manchester city wins, they may come second if City ends up having more GD than them. it would be a very shameful thing but it has a high possibility of occuring. If Arsenal doesn't win the premier league this season, I support wholeheartedly that Arterta be relieved of his job as manager.

I agree with you, Arsenal's current strength is not yet able to handle these two big leagues simultaneously because their resources are still very lacking, when in the Premier League they are sometimes inconsistent and lose points, that is not a good situation for Arsenal, so it is better to focus on 1 league and the one that can almost certainly be won is the English Premier League because they are currently superior, if they force it for the Champions League in my opinion it will not work, plus in the Champions League there are many teams as great as Arsenal.

When a team like Manchester City is following you, you have to be careful because they'll be looking for an opportunity to capitalize on your mistakes. Every point Arsenal drops will bring Manchester City closer, increasing the pressure. Arsenal have made this mistake many seasons ago, allowing their rivals to close the gap.

Arteta and Arsenal need to be more careful in the upcoming matches. Teams competing for the championship cannot afford to drop points easily, and if Arsenal lose points, City will close even further and could potentially take the lead. Arsenal need to be more cautious. If they don't drop points, they'll win the championship, but they tend to make mistakes as the pressure increases.

[RockBell]

Wolves is an opportunity for Arsenal to secure their three points but despite that they should not underrate them because football is full of surprises, wolves has been in a bad form since the starting of the season but take a look at when they play against Manchester United, manchester United struggle hard to even share point against them.

They don't even have a choice than to win against wolves because they already know what is at stake and Manchester city is seriously closing in at this point because we can not even take chances at this point because If we really have the intention of winning the title all ti's are very important at this point we can not hesitate to be losing any game now, I don't think the comparison is correct because Manchester united gave us a really tough time compare to what we are going to be playing against wolves, and we are not even going to accept sharing of points in this situation because the games are becoming lesser.

It is very difficult to predict the winner of the season because arsenal that was having hope before are misbehaving even though it wasn't at as deep as we thought, at this level now need to play each game as final so that they can be winning each match easily.

I don't see how difficult it can be because Arsenal are pushing really hard and all hopes are on the shoulder of arsenal and Arteta need to play is best game at this point, and even with the way everything is playing out I don't think have lost hope in arsenal not winning the premier from the beginning I had strong hopes that it is how turn to. Win the title and not have changed that for now so let's just continue trusting Arteta to do what we feel is the best thing to do because there is no way we are not going to win.

Arsenal have a good squad and yes I think the squad isn’t that great to handle the much stress in the Champions League and the Premier League altogether but are you saying Arteta should turn most of his focus on one league? The premier league? I don’t think this would work out that perfectly, Artera should find ways to balance both league even though he might decide to have more focus on the premier league but he shouldn’t flop in the Champions League. They started this season very promising and I just hope they don’t bottle this season again.

[Amphenomenon]

Meanwhile there is a tough race for top 4. It's not easy to guess the one(s) who can make it. Let's say Aston Villa kept themselves there. Then I can just say Liverpool's chances would be even lower.

The top 4 race is very competitive and any team who fails to be consistent will be the one not making it. Chelsea and United are fighting and we are hoping United will drop some points for us to go ahead of them while as for Liverpool I doubt they can make it but this I think will be dependent on how Aston Villa perform, Chelsea and United are in a horse race for a Champions league spot, although the gap between Liverpool and Chelsea or United is smaller but I still think theirs is dependent on Aston villa more.

Arteta has all the players he need to not just take Premier League but also get the Champions League and also a domestic league cup, it's just that Arteta is not ready, there is this dying minute run of the season losing mentality that Arteta has been seen to display and its just that he is not dynamic enough to adjust his team to take the wins needed to obtain the PL tittle. Take for instance Odegaard, he has been playing under par for sometime now and Arteta always finds a chance to start him.

Arsenal is topping the league with 4 points ahead of Manchester city but considering the number of matches left I see that Manchester city is likely to cover that gap because it looks like arsenal is not serous about the title I'm afraid that they will repeat that same thing they did last season. However  Looking at their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur, well this is not going to be an easy win for arsenal because Tottenham Hotspur is Strong headed especially when dealing with superior teams I'm afraid they will   make things to be more difficult for arsenal this weekend.

There must be some moments where a club feels some moments of defeat that are not too unexpected not that they are bad but there are some situations that are not in line with expectations. What happened to Arsenal at this time was not very good especially with the tight schedule they had and the heavy pressure because they seemed to be demanded from the start in several major competitions made them lose a little stability in their performance but currently 4 points are still the difference and I think it's still very good to keep them at the top.

What they need to do now in the last 12 weeks is to keep trying to maintain what they have maintained since the beginning because if not then they will only become the same joke where in the last few seasons they always tried to keep the trophy owned by another club at the beginning of the season and at the end of the season they voluntarily gave the trophy away.

Manchester United and Chelsea are just playing the same thing since they changed coach lol,
It's a good performance from the two teams though,
In the case of Arsenal, their performance did not literally decline, I think they have to try harder, the season is about rounding up and clubs are beginning to increase in performance trying to secure as much points as they can, so this is a very crucial part of the season where anything can happen, and small clubs can be a threat at this point. So They have to be ready and try harder to eliminate losses.

If Arsenal can’t win the premier league title this season, then they should just allow Arteta go. We all know Arteta is a good coach, and an experienced one, but all what Arsenal fans are after is the trophy, if Arteta can’t get the trophy for Arsenal, then he should leave. Arteta have spent so many time at Arsenal, and he has not been able to win any major trophy for Arsenal, all what he has been doing is just to try, and at the end he will end the season in 2nd position, and Arsenal fans are tired of seeing that already, they want the trophy.

He probably saw only 1 Aston Villa player in the defense area and 3 Newcastle players who attacked it would be very difficult for them because the potential goal was very large but fouling was also the wrong decision apart from he was the last player, the risk was definitely a red card but Bizot did not think long here.

When things like this happen where the goalkeeper is always out of his nest I always think of Neuer and Ederson lol.

As for Tammy's goal, it was offside and if the result had been different (especially if Aston Villa had won at the end) it would have been an interesting drama but as Newcastle got through it won't matter too much even though it should have been offside.

I agree for the most part and I will admit that in that situation, a goalkeeper doesn't have a very long time to make a decision. It is all about split seconds.

Nevertheless, I think when a goalkeeper takes an offensive position like that, he should make up his mind beforehand as good as possible about knocking down an opponent or letting him go and perhaps score. The issue I have with the goalkeeper decision is the timing. It was the end of the first half and the opponent Newcastle is not a weak team.

If you think through it and Newcastle would have equalized the game there, I think with 11 players Aston Villa would still have had a a very decent chance to win the game. Conceding a red card and then play for such a long time against a team like Newcastle is difficult for everyone. I think if he fouls the Newcastle player in minute 78' and Aston Villa then wins or gets at least a point, it could be argued that it was right. But this way it makes the goalkeeper look stupid on all fronts.
