I think Arsenal could be one of the top four teams in the league, but I know Arsenal's goal is more than the top four. That's why Arsenal is still racing for the title. Together with a quality striker, they will increase their chances of achieving this. The league title is very important for Arsenal because they have been trying to get it for years.

Arsenal would most likely be amongst the top four teams when the current season ends. And yes, their aim is much more than just finishing amongst the top four. Last season, they played well but sadly couldn’t maintain the lead and fell behind, giving Manchester City the lead and ultimately the EPL title last season.
They’ve been somewhat inconsistent in their performances and have lost out on some games that they would have ordinarily had won. They still have a shot at the title but they do need to step up in their efforts. I do think they’ve got the right players to get them where they need to be. The top of the table.

I agree with you on Arsenal's season potential. They've had ups and downs. We fans have struggled with their inconsistency, right? Be honest—the season is far from done. With 18 matches left, Mikel Arteta and the team can turn things around.

Last season's mistake, which gave Manchester City the trophy, was hard to accept. Arsenal is still in good shape overall. All is at stake with Man City and Liverpool nearby. I think they should avoid end-of-season stumbles. It'll be challenging, especially with Liverpool and Aston Villa, but it's doable. Arsenal has talent, no doubt. That must be channeled into more consistent performances. If they can, who knows? We may see them at the top of the table where we think they belong.

Talent isn't enough for the Arsenal team. They need a scoring team. More players who can create chances like Saka. That is, with all the talent in the squad, a play maker or two should be enough to dribble in the heart of an opponents half and either score or assist.
Arteta played under Arsene Wenger and saw how this was necessary.
The team also needs to try to work on scoring goals through header, set pieces and corners more, because besides their current performance and position, almost any team playing them fear not from any of their set pieces, because they would rather pass and shoot rather than from crossing passes and set pieces.
