Mikel Arteta will really repeat this mistake this season and they must avoid it before it is too late and they are even further left behind by Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City.

Arsenal's difficulties are starting to be tested by playing in the UCL this season, especially since they have to divide their focus with the EPL and UCL so of course there will be key players injured which will certainly be detrimental to Arsenal in the hunt for the EPL this season, their failure in several previous matches was a defeat which made them have to Falling from the top of the standings is certainly very detrimental for them.
I know that Arteta has maintained the performance of all his players so that they can be consistent in the two EPL and UCL matches this season, but unfortunately they are not ready to divide their focus properly. Arteta certainly doesn't want to fail for the umpteenth time in the race for the EPL title this season considering his failure in last season, Manchester City easily took the title from Arsenal. they can still rise
But yes, it will still be difficult for Arsenal to take back the top position of the Premier League standings. Because ya, of course we will also admit that Klopp also has great efforts to make Liverpool strong in the title race . Moreover, at this moment Liverpool have been at the top of the table, when Manchester City and Arsenal get bad results, but Liverpool can still be consistent with good results.
Therefore, although there is still a second half of the season, but it will certainly not be easy for Arsenal to rise . But ya, if for example just to stay in the top four then of course Arsenal will still be able to do well. So thus, for me there is no good chance for Arsenal to be able to return to the top of the Premier League standings.
I think it is already too late @Bitpotter. They have already fallen behind Manchester City and guess what Manchester City has played 1 match less. And once you fall behind in a fierce and competitive league such as the Premier League, you usually cannot come back from it. Manchester City were fumbling a few matches ago due to their injuries but what Arsenal are doing is just absurd. They had no extra problems in these matches and they just lost 2 matches in a row. And the match before these 2 matches they drew. These cannot happen if you want to stay at the top of the league. Mikel Arteta just bottled it like last season and I don't think there is any coming back.
