This season could really be it for Arsenal! I mean Manchester City are doing their best to make sure Arsenal are becoming the champions comfortably. Because they lost points 2 matches in a row.

In the matches Haaland doesn't contribute to the score directly they are struggling a lot! If he doesn't improve his form soon Arsenal can announce their championship earlier than expected.

When a team relies on star players they tend to experience some set backs at some point because you cannot expect soem specific players to always be a hundred percent, some of them might have times that they aren't going to be a hundred percent. Haaland is a great player but just because his input in the team has been low it's reflecting in the team. Arsenal are definitely going to win the premier league title because at this point there's no other team that's keeping up with them in terms of performance.

It's obvious that, this is the appointed season for Arsenal to win the title and everything seems to be working well for them. Because there is no strong opposition all the teams behind them are actually struggling the only team that, seems to be fighting them Manchester City is even struggling and is not in the best form. So everything is working for  Arsenal to lift the title this season.

You have said it all man, because with what I have seen from arsenal, their is nothing special about them, though they have been a bit more consistent than previous seasons that they threw it away, but if their was a fierce competition like the last two seasons Manchester City won the league, I don't think arsenal would have still been topping the league table or be in a more favourable position to win the league like as they are now, but right now, everything seems to be going in their favour because of the terrible form of their rivals.

Furthermore, right now they have 70 points with seven matches to go which might pitch them at 91 point if they can win the rest seven games, but it's unlikely they can win them all, but why am saying this is that they wouldn't be able to win the league win such a point total if their was a fierce competition for the league title.

I don't see manchester city as a treat to arsenal, and all the manchester city struggles right now would take them no where, so they should just play normal match and let go the trophy. Arsenal will be lifting the trophy this season, because they are already far ahead of other teams. Arsenal really need this trophy more than any other team, as you can see arsenal has not won the premier League title since 2004. So wining it this season would be a great joy to them, so I wish them goodluck, and they have nothing to worry, because the trophy is theirs to lift this season.

The Premier League this year is truly incredible it seems tailored for Arsenal. Liverpool have fallen apart, Manchester City have hit a rough patch they keep conceding goals and aren’t scoring enough. Chelsea, as has often been the case in recent years, can’t seem to find any consistency.
In my opinion, if Manchester United had had Carrick from the start of the season they would be right up there with Arsenal.

I wouldn't say this season is exactly tailored for Arsenal. No doubt they've worked really hard this season and likely learnt from certain mistakes made in the previous seasons. Now, they're ptesently on track to win the title this season and I hope they remain focused and not relent a bit in their pursuit of the epl title.
I totally agree with your opinion. If Manchester united had Carrick as the manager from the beginning of the season, they would have likely been a strong contender for the title and probably be the one chasing Arsenal and keeping them on their toes as they all race for the EPL title. I believe if they retain him as Man united's manager, they'll be strong contenders for the title next season.

Arsenal have a great chance to win the EPL title this season, but they must remain vigilant because Man City still has a chance, one of which is when the two meet in a match that will be played at the Etihad Stadium. If Man City manages to beat Arsenal and win their remaining match, the gap between the two will be three points. The narrowing points gap will put more pressure on Arsenal, but Arsenal must perform consistently in the remaining matches to maintain their position at the top of the standings. Losing 4 points in two consecutive matches has made Arsenal more confident in the next match, but they must be more serious in the remaining matches to increase their chances of winning the title.

Do you still believe Manchester city can stand a chance? Bro the fact is the English premier league is already belong to Arsenal and there's nothing any team can do about it the only thing i know every other teams are fighting for is the English premier league top four race including Manchester city and even if Manchester city does not take care Manchester United might still end the season ahead of them, and for Halaand i think they have mastered his weak point like no one wants to give him that chance again every one is always vigilant of him.

Well if am to say anything then it would be the fact that they actually deserve that trophy 🏆 because they have indeed worked hard for it and it's time they actually lifted it atleast for the hard work that Mikel arteta have out into place for the team and also for the other times when they got so close in winning it. If anything results to the ending and arsenal not being the champions then it would be too shameful and devastating for them after all the effort.

Arsenal's performance is quite strong in front of us at the moment and there is only a 9-point difference between the two and hopefully Arsenal will win the title this time. Manchester City are not playing well in the league and they want Arsenal to win, their performance shows that and if Manchester City still does not make a comeback, Arsenal will win their next match playing the second round with Leverkusen and their strength will increase. The way Manchester City was working, they should have fought hard and brought Arsenal down, but now they are coming close and losing the match, which will be very disappointing for them. If Manchester City comes up, then it will be quite interesting for us and once the pressure is on Arsenal, we hope Manchester City will improve.

Arsenal are closer than ever this year. Liverpool haven't had a good start to the season, despite all their transfers. Manchester City are doing their best for Arsenal. If Haaland doesn't score, Manchester City struggles. Even Haaland can't be the best striker in every game. If Arsenal continue their winning streak, they'll clinch the championship early.

Sure, Manchester City dropped two points in their last two matches, and it obvious the league is becoming more easier for Arsenal to win. The last two matches were the one I expected them to win, because both opponents are fighting to escape the relegation zone. Manchester City was leading against Nottingham Forest, but they were unable to maintain the lead in the second half, the same way against West Ham, Man City failed to get a winning goal in the second half.

Manchester City remain 9 points behind Arsenal with eight games remaining in the league, Manchester City have miss their chances to stop Arsenal from winning the league. Even though Manchester City win their missing game against Crystal Palace, I don’t Arsenal will drop points in any of their matches, this team really needs to win the trophy this season, in my opinion, they deserve it.

It really obvious and a good time for arsenal to become EPL CHAMPIONS this season, because Arsenal has been doing anything to make sure they make a different and probably their dream of winning the title for a long time has come through. Manchester City has been competing with them since beginning of the season but unfortunately they have been dropping unnecessary points, which gives Arsenal a big chance of winning the premier league title. though despite that we all know Arsenal is also struggling because they have become very stressed and frustrated, especially their attacking line becomes very weak but I hope they'll defeat Manchester City because it will be a big advantage for the title.

Manchester United under Carrick keep surprising us. They looked really good yesterday and controlled the tempo of the game well. Unai Emery’s tactics couldn’t save Villa from a 3-1 defeat. At this rate, Villa might not be playing champions league football next season.

Manchester United is really giving the impression that they just end their worst time after a lot of hurdles and complications. And now they are continously on their way to prove them as the most improved and the best team. And I think Manchester is really telling people and all that being consistent really have the potential to grab you from the darkness to the light. And the Carrick is really doing well because all the improvements or wins which Manchester United has made are happened after Carrick joined the team. And Manchester United has to win this match by playing so well because Aston villa is a team which failed to make an impression of being a good or strong team. Because they start the league in a healthy way but later on they started showing decline in their performance which push them in the zone of weak teams.

Haaland has been mid this past few weeks and Man City has been getting by with the help of Semenyo and O'Reilly, so I feel this current Man City isn't that dependent on Haaland like they did the beginning of this season and even last season, that's why at some point in time, Pep even kept Haaland on the bench and started Marmoush. So Haaland should improve on his form because he used to be Man City's biggest weapon. But he isn't as terrible as Gyokeres buy the way.

Luckily it's just Arsenal's season that's why everything is looking this way. I wouldn't say Manchester City are doing everything possible for Arsenal to win it, I just think it's not their season that's why they are not able to utilize all the chances given to them. They just have to know it's not their season and whatever they do it will just not work.
Arsenal are definitely winning it this season, nothing City will do now that will change that unless if they win all their remaining games which is almost impossible. With their current performance nothing they can do to win the league again and they can't win all their games.

Not only Haaland the whole team is just not inform so I won't blame anyone, we all know what Haaland is doing for them so we shouldn't blame him for the goal drought.

I think I would just have to finally concur to this that it's Arsenal's season and everything is looking just this way for them. I kind of like Arsenal new approach now, it's not necessarily you win convincingly, at times you will have to win dirty, sometimes you win by just 1 - 0. Sometimes defend your lead and take your win instead of thinking that you will always attack and attack to win, the most important thing is the 3 points. You can get outplayed by your opponent it doesn't matter, so long as you can score and defend it till FT. Manchester City as a team is not going to be a threat for Arsenal anymore, just take a look at their performance they are not a team that can have even 4 consecutive wins, it's that bad for them right now. With fee games to go, I think Arsenal are finally going to do it.

There next League match is against Brighton and away, it's a match they should win but not easily cause Brighton would be more difficult to play at their home compared to playing them at Anfield. Failing to reach the 4th position when he has the opportunities would seriously cause him to worry, I think he might not retain his job if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. (...)

Playing Brighto away may not be easy. They are also playing a rematch with Galatasaray tomorrow, with UCL quarterfinals at stake.
I think Slot will be on his way out if he doesn't make it into the top 4, but getting to the UCL final could potentially save him. It's just that the changes he had made to the team seem counterproductive and simply didn't bring the expected results. That being said, Liverpool often dominates their games, have much more shots on goal than their rivals, but just lack in finishing, so maybe that's something Slot can still fix with some adjustments in the offensive side.

(...)
Even though Ruben Amorim was not doing very well at Manchester United, i was pained when i had the news that Manchester United owners have sacked Ruben Amorim. I thought Michael Carrick would not handle the pressure at Manchester United but after he guided Manchester United to the 3rd place in the league standings (...)

Maybe the key to the success was that Carrick wasn't necessarily under much pressure. He was appointed as interim manager, and no one would blame him for poor results, as he wasn't responsible for building the squad.
We've seen a somewhat similar situation when Ruud van Nistelrooy took the team over for a short period (between Ten Haag and Amorim) and also had good results (3 wins and a draw).

For me Arsenal have already announced the championship as things are right now, nobody is stopping Arsenal from winning the league and if they succeed in winning the next two games, it is literally a title win for The Gunners. I saw the game they just played in Champions League, they were able to win Bayer Leverkusen with ease, while on the other hand Manchester City were struggling, although they had a Red card but it's boils down to the fact that, they've not been doing well.

They still have a chance mathematically, though it's now slim. Most of the hope is that Arsenal somehow slips up while they keep winning everything

Now that they are out of the Champions League, they have to capitalize on every chance they can get, including that game they have vs. Arsenal in the EPL. Arsenal is still in all four competitions, which might be a bit of a challenge when it comes to player fitness and concentration. This is where a deep squad is very necessary.
