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.
Arsenal top priority is to win the EPL title this season and even last season, however the team isn't formidable enough to win it as we all know that the team lack consistency and lack of depth in their squad, if one or two key players in the team is injured there isn't a perfect alternative to fill the gap thus the team struggle to win or even lose winnable matches, from my own point of view the team can only clinch top 4 spot the team should be reinforce with more quality players next summer to be able to win the title next season I think their third attempt to win the league would be realistic if the squad is formidable enough.
Arsenal opportunity to win the Premier League this season is still open, they are 5 points adrift of the current leaders, Liverpool can still be caught, because there are still 18 matches remaining. But of course Arteta squad can no longer lose points, the depth of Arteta squad is also very good compared to last season. So I think Arsenal still has a big chance to continue competing in the hunt for trophies, just like Liverpool, Aston Villa and Man City.
All teams want luck in the form of a complete squad, without any players experiencing injuries. Because this really affects their chances of achieving their targets, of course not only in the Premier League, including in European competitions too. Currently, it is still very difficult to guess who will be the champion when the season ends, because the standings board has not yet been formed with a significant points gap.
