I think Arsenal might be champions this season with there performance and as the season just started those at the top like Manchester city will have pressure maintaining the top and will face heat from the top four and when they drops points definitely other teams will want to reach the top cause the top four is tight presently and with the way the Arsenal squad are playing I believe they can defeat Manchester city
Manchester City is a team that tends to put pressure on Arsenal rather than the other way around. I don't think Arsenal can take first place from Manchester City if in the next match they fail to win the match against Tottenham. Of course Arsenal and their fans are very confident in the possibility, but in fact Arsenal failed to have a good mentality in the title race last season.
The matches against Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle in the coming weeks will be a benchmark for whether Arsenal deserves to lead the standings, but I really doubt that Arsenal can take it from Manchester City easily.
Somehow Arsenal always lose when facing Man City. The best result for Arsenal when facing Man City was only a draw in normal time. And I think it will still be the same now. But there is one way that Arsenal can win the title this season even though they still have to lose against Man City. Namely, Arsenal cannot lose to any other team besides Man City. And yes, the match against Tottenham will be a challenge and a test for Arsenal. Do they deserve to win the title or not? If Arsenal loses to Tottenham. So I think Arsenal will also experience many defeats by other teams. M.Arteta is indeed in good spirits this season. But he still had to make a good strategy without loopholes. Because currently even Liverpool and Tottenham seem to be closer to winning the title this season.
Totthenham are in good shape to face a strong Arsenal side this weekend,they have demostrated a sign of seriousness this season,winning most of their games played,but the encounter against Arsenal this weekend is really going to be one to put an eye on,because at the moment,Arsenal does not want to lose or drop points because they don't want the gap between them and City to be big,they still want to stay very close to them so that if anything happens,and a team wins City,they can simply occupy that top spot.Meanwhile, Totthenham would want to continue their form this season by trying everything possible to get a win or draw here,but I doubt if Arsenal are going to give them a point,and if I am to make my prediction,I will still go for Arsenal to win by 2-1.
