yes it is certainly different from how it started, this team usually always gets us used to starting very quickly, i would say that they can and must recover also because if they want to win they must have concentration and take home all the games they have available because Manchester City will not stop

Arsenal performance has indeed been on the decline,

Well you don't expect a team to play well consistently in the fill season, I don't think such a team exist

And unfortunately, theirs really took a hold on them, where by making all the point gap to close,

Nevertheless there is still a chance or them to win the trophy, they have to be super consistent enough

Even if the team still has the passion to win the title this season, Arsenal's focus is divided on the Champions League, so they lose their focus on the domestic league, if they fail in the Champions League, it is very likely that they will also lose the championship title in the domestic league like in previous years.

Arsenal are still fighting for the league title, and football is unpredictable game and Arsenal is already leading Newcastle by one goal let see who will achieve the three point today. And Manchester City will face Southampton and I get the believe that Guadiola will get the victory in the FA Cup and qualify for the next round.

I will just wish arsenal to win the Premier League this season because they have be struggling for many seasons and still no yet victory, this season is there best time to achieve the league title.

Southampton almost left them stunned during that game but they came back to beat them. I will rather a Leeds United in the FA Cup finals than Chelsea because it will be easy to beat this Chelsea side and not Leeds United. Come tomorrow, I'll be backing Leeds United for the win against Chelsea. I don't think the new interim guy can beat Pep Guardiola. Tomorrow decides anyways but this is my predicted outcome for the game.

You are free to think or talk anything you like, but the reality is that Chelsea is going to beat this Leeds United team you think are unstoppable at Wembley stadium tomorrow. You spoke of how you think that this present interim manager can't beat pep guardiola Manchester City, but sorry to break it to you that this was the same guy that drew with Manchester City at the Etihad stadium 1-1, in his first spell as an interim manager, when Enzo maresca was sacked, so you can't just ruled out Chelsea's chances like that because Chelsea is not a team that perform poorly in finals, so I believe that the finals will be more spectacular if it's Chelsea vs Manchester City, than Manchester City vs Leeds United.

Atletico Madrid is also a strong team as their progress to the quarterfinals is no fluke and it's not guaranteed that Arsenal will easily defeat Atletico Madrid when they meet in the round of 16. I was impressed by Atletico Madrid's performance in the first leg of their previous round against Barcelona. While we used to see a totally defensive strategy, they played an open game in this match. Atletico Madrid's overall performance has been inconsistent, but they still have a chance of beating Arsenal in the quarterfinals, although Arsenal's recent dip in form cannot be discounted

Both teams are coming into the Champions League game with confidence. In five games, Atlético Madrid has lost four, and this was their first win. They were able to beat Athletic Club which would boost their confidence. Arsenal on the other hand, just won their first game in three matches. The early goal by Eberechi Eze was enough to put them at the top of the EPL table. I guess we would see a good game between these two sides in the semi-finals of the UCL.

Arsenal focus is divided? They're one of the elite team in EPL and we know already what they're chasing. Mikel Arteta have in mind to win the UEFEA Champions League and also having his side to settle for when it comes to the EPL. Too many expectations from Arsenal fans towards their players and manager, they want to see their club lift at least one of this major trophy and they're definitely not going to bottle the EPL because that's where 90% if their hope lies. How did we get here?

Arsenal fans are going through a tough time because team's recent performances have not been good. It is not clear why they are not playing well. Maybe they are tired after a long period of consistent performances or Mikel Arteta's tactics seem easy to the opponents. Whatever it is, Arteta will have to implement a comfortable strategy to win. They will have to fight against Atletico Madrid in the upcoming important match of the Champions League. Although Arsenal has been ahead in terms of performance statistics since October last year, Atletico Madrid has been doing well recently. If Arsenal is to win in the semi-finals, Mikel Arteta will have to come up with a different plan because Atletico Madrid's defense is very strong and they will want to keep their defense more secure as well as attack. For now, the main focus of the Arsenal team will be on the Champions League and this will take the team to a respectable position, which is what the fans expect.

In my opinion, Arteta is a great manager and Arsenal are a great team, but the players have gone from playing 40–45 matches a year to 50–55, and on top of that there’s the World Cup this year. At this pace, injuries are on the rise and it’s becoming harder for the players to recover between matches. At the moment, Arsenal are paying the price for the fatigue that has built up since last season, followed by the Club World Cup and this entire season without a break. A bit like Chelsea.

Arsenal wants to do well on both platforms and win the title. But there is fierce competition on both platforms. Winning the title is impossible if the performance is not strong. At the same time, Arsenal's performance has become a bit erratic now.

Arsenal played against Newcastle yesterday. Despite being a home match, Arsenal's players could not dominate the match. I thought Arsenal would play completely aggressively. They did not do that either. Arsenal managed to take 11 shots. But they were able to score early in the match. Arsenal won by a narrow margin of 1-0 in the end.

Arsenal will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Both these teams are strong. But the performance is a bit erratic. So the chances of winning are equal for both.

How did we get here?

But in reality, until now they have not won any championship in the last few seasons, they have always failed and even though they were impressive at the beginning, failure has always been a nightmare for Arsenal, we should not dream in broad daylight that the clubs playing in the Champions League are quite promising clubs, not to mention Arsenal must face ATM if they defeat ATM, they will most likely meet Bayern or PSG, even their strength is above Arsenal.

Their fans can't do much when they see their favorite club's performance decline. They even realize that this happens every season. The loss of confidence at the end of the season is always a frightening prospect for fans and players alike. This isn't a tactical issue, but rather a fatigue factor in the situations they face in some matches.

Because the Champions League system forces many players to exhaust themselves with the long match schedule, we shouldn't compare PSG, who are always dominant in the domestic league, and Bayern, who are also very dominant in the domestic league, but not Arsenal and ATM, both of whom have lost their focus. This isn't just a tactical issue; Arsenal really needs to focus on their goals; otherwise, it will be a bad season for Arsenal.

I don't believe in this "They are focused on the Champions League and League, they will lose" mentality from a team that has spent over 800 million in assembling a team. Arsenal has a lot of squad depth. They have all that it takes to compete for the League and Champions League and win both. If they don't win, it will be because they are not good enough or because they lack the mentality or simply unlucky. In other seasons, they didn't win the league, even though they were not fighting for two trophies. Halfway through the season, their fans expected them to win the quadruple, so fighting for two trophies now is an impossible task.

They brought this on themselves. They were topping the league with about 9 points, and they fumbled it. If they had maintained the nine-point lead, by now, they wouldn't be struggling to win the league. They would have needed just three more points to become league winners, but they blew their chance.

I don't see them winning the league anymore because Manchester City will most likely not lose any more games and would definitely score more goals.
I also see Arsenal getting knocked out by Atleti. Arsenal are favourites, but if they don't find a way to score goals, they will not get past Atletico. Atletico is also an inconsistent team, so that is an advantage to Arsenal, but on their day, they are a very hard nut to crack.

Honestly, Arsenal are the ones that put theirsellf in this pressure because had it been they maintaed the point difference they were leading with before there is no way Manchester city would meet up with them and by now they would have been somehow relax in anything premier league because of the point difference but now they have given Manchester city the chance to make them uncomfortable and if they don't play well they will lose all.

[M47AK16]

I also think the same as you about Arsenal, this club has started to decline lately, like losing their spirit and confidence, even when playing against Sporting, Arsenal looked difficult, let alone when playing against Atletico Madrid who are in their best form recently, it will definitely make Arsenal even more oppressed, Arsenal only hope to win the title is to focus on one of them by giving up the UCL and then playing without losing in the EPL by scoring more goals than Man City, so Arsenal can win the title with a goal difference, if for the UCL I am sure Arsenal cannot win it.

Best form recently? Have you followed Atletico Madrid and their games in any recent month? I mean yes they have beaten Barcelona and that was awesome for them, I am not doubting that when they do play great they have ability to defeat anyone. But that same team has lost the cup final to Sociedad recently and lost four of their most recent league games, not even a draw, just straight up lost four in a row. This shows that Atletico Madrid is in even worse situation. Just like Arsenal, who lost a cup final, and they are not doing great at league neither.

Atletico madrid's performance is still inconsistent. But their squad is strong enough. And even against strong  opponents, Atletico madrid players are confident  that they can play well. Their performance in the copa del rey and champions league against Barcelona has surprised everyone. But Atletico madrid lost to Real sociedad in the copa del rey final.

Atletico madrid has a chance to win against Arsenal. The performance of their opponent arsenal is also inconsistent now. Although they won against Newcastle yesterday , they lost in the previous two matches. So I  am not sure whether arsenal will be able to play well against Atletico madrid.

[Accardo]

PSG vs Bayern is hard to predicted that because both teams are equally strong but for me personally i would like to put PSG as the strong candidate to gets the trophy this season the reason is very simple that PSG squad looks very solid compared to their squad from several season ago but unfortunately it won't be easy to advances to the final stage because their opponent is Bayern munich which one of the best team in this competition and according to meeting history between them i can see Bayern is more good compared to PSG and i know this game won't be easy for PSG but i am still sure they can beat Bayern and advance to the final stage

PSG had that trophy in full last season, Hoping on PSG to win Bayern this season, depends on a very slender reed, Bayern is hungry for this champions league, and won't stop at nothing but have the victory. PSG is worth stated as a pretty fine contender, capable of derailing the winning dreams of the bayern munich team at the semi final, you'll never know how true, Bayern won't let a thing like that happen on their watch, the game would be very competitive, yet it's likely that Bayern would win than not.

You are free to think or talk anything you like, but the reality is that Chelsea is going to beat this Leeds United team you think are unstoppable at Wembley stadium tomorrow. You spoke of how you think that this present interim manager can't beat pep guardiola Manchester City, but sorry to break it to you that this was the same guy that drew with Manchester City at the Etihad stadium 1-1, in his first spell as an interim manager, when Enzo maresca was sacked, so you can't just ruled out Chelsea's chances like that because Chelsea is not a team that perform poorly in finals, so I believe that the finals will be more spectacular if it's Chelsea vs Manchester City, than Manchester City vs Leeds United.

Goood good, now let's see him against Leeds United again today. I'm changing my prediction and it's not because of your words but because I placed them to have the win today on my slip. I am rooting for them to win and if they lose, we will have enough banter material to utilise. I made those comments out of bias, but this?! I do think Chelsea emerge winners at the end of 90 minutes. Leeds United mind you have won against Chelsea and drew the next. This might be the chance to get their revenge.

It's true that they're strong enough but they also concede easily, if they concede first then it would be tough for them cause Arsenal's defense is one of the best. I still don't understand why they lost that final to Real Sociedad and I believe Simeone would learn from it he should be tougher against Arsenal and advise his players to avoid comceding first.

 I'm confused on who to support, Arsenal is a London team but I don't fully trust them, Atletico Madrid's inconsistency is also giving me a second thought it's kinda confusing cause they've had their share of inconsistency in their league matches lately.

PSG are the reigning CL champions, they are in the semi again because they one of the best teams in Europe. Bayern is the only team capable of derailing PSG from the 2026 CL trophy. PSG and Bayern have strong teams. Arsenal or Atletico will not beat PSG or Bayern in the final.

Arsenal had every advantage or upper hand on all competitions they were in this season but unfortunately the results weren’t in their favor. I don’t see them going beyond the semis.
There’s a chance they might win Atlético Madrid but I see no chance of them winning the finals.
Bayern Munich is in a hot form and PSG are playing well collectively. Arsenal is just Arsenal….. nothing special happening with them.

It is true that Arsenal has not been performance as expected, especially towards the end of the season and this is very disappointing to us who wanted them to lift some trophies this season however, if Arsenal should go to the final in the Champions League after defeating Atletico Madrid, then I am sure that Arsenal can lift the Champions league trophy. One thing you should understand is that playing in the final in the champions league is actually different they will put their all knowing very well that Champions League is one of the biggest trophy and if they should get it, then they have succeeded this season so if they should go to the final, they have a good chance to lift the trophy, they have won Bayern Munich this season before and they can do it again if there two meet in the final.

I don't know if it is because of the champions league that made Atletico Madrid lost few of their games perhaps they want to be very careful not to incur any injury till they play against Arsenal. The last time Atletico Madrid played Arsenal was in the group stage where Arsenal defeated them about 4 null and I want to believe Atletico Madrid Coach won't allow Arsenal to win them again the second tme this season but arsenal is not their regular team so it will be very difficult to win Arteta.
