Just a hope nothing more than that. Arsenal's consistency from season to season has always lost its way in maintaining position. Therefore when I see teams like Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are in a condition that is still looking for solutions behind some of the obstacles that are being experienced.
1 point distance with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur has not made Arsenal safe to be in 1st position in the standings. There is no other choice but to be consistent in every game that will be played by Arsenal. Can Arsenal?
The first half of the Premier League will be dominated by Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham, the distance between Manchester City and Tottenham is only one point adrift of Arsenal.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are in the process of healing after experiencing a decline in performance in several matches. If they are able to improve their performance in the second half of the season, the competition in the top four will be even more exciting.
Arsenal also need to maintain their form to continue to secure first place, the slightest mistake by Arteta men will cost them their place at the top of the table as they are so close to Manchester City and Tottenham.
