Well, even though Arsenal have had some bad results recently, that doesn't mean that Arsenal have lost the title race this season. Because there is still a lot of time left. There are still at least 18 matches this season that Mikel Arteta and his troops, namely the Arsenal squad, must really take advantage of this season to reach the top of the standings. Currently Arsenal has the same number of points as Manchester City but has a 5 point difference with Liverpool who are at the top of the standings. Well this won't be easy for Arsenal. But they still have a chance.
Unlike last season, Arsenal doesn't have only Manchester City to fight for the league, they also have Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Aston Villa might be the least strongest of them all, but they have shown this season that it has what it takes to be among the title contenders.
Manchester City is ahead of Arsenal in 3rd position, 2 points behind Aston Villa, and 5 points behind Liverpool. Manchester City has a game in hand and a win in that game would take them to second position, just 2 points behind Liverpool while Liverpool would lose their highest goal scorer to his national team for the AFCON competition. While Manchester City trio of De Bruyne, Doku and Halland would be available.
The situation seems to favor Manchester City getting back into the race after several weeks out of race, we will see a miracle if Manchester City really takes over the top of the standings because previously some people said Manchester City had lost their chance to win the trophy but the fact is that this week Manchester City is getting closer. Now Liverpool have to really fight to maintain their position and that's without Moh Salah. Actually, I still believe in the current Liverpool squad it's just that when faced with another strong team I was a little doubtful.
