Arsenal tried last season and fall out of line during the end of the season due to the severe injuries that hits their important players managing significant roles on the pitch. This season is a different one, expecting an outstanding performance from Arsenal, they have even start showing us after a tremendous win against Manchester City. That gingered the whole Gunners squad and the supporters, there's a major title for them this season. Mikel Arteta is eager and 100% ready to conquer his opponents this season. Winning Pep Guardiola was one of the bolstering ambition for the Gunners boss, that means he's ready to be in the competitive race for EPL title.
Arsenal have been trying to win the EPL trophy for more than two decades, and last season failed again after losing consistency at the end of the season. This season, the performance of Arteta squad is considered more promising, of course this cannot be separated from the depth of the squad which is balanced between the main squad and rotation options. Arsenal officials are certainly demanding a lot of success after spending a lot of money in the transfer market last summer, for now Arteta has the ideal squad to challenge for the champions.
I think they just need to increase their focus more as the season draws to a close, dropping points at that time is very ironic. Arsenal next match was a tough test from Chelsea, although on paper the Gunners could handle it well. Because Pochettino has not been able to make his club completely stable, but Arsenal has to work extra because they will play at Stamford Bridge.
