On Saturday, Arsenal host Crystal Palace in the English Premier League and a win in that game will draw them level with third placed Aston Villa and second placed Manchester City who currently have have played the same number of games with Arsenal. They're currently five points behind league leaders Liverpool having played the same number of games and that means that mathematically, Arsenal are still very much in contention for the English Premier League title this season.
But personally, I don't consider Arsenal as a major title contender for the league title this season and that's because of their inconsistent results and performances. I'll be happy if they prove me wrong by winning the league title at the end of the season but that I think will be a very difficult one for Mikel Arteta's men
They will try to prove it, until the Premier League match ends. in this way, Arteta will restore his squad's performance to its original state and get back on track. obstacles and challenges will always be there, but like it or not, the Gunners have to go through them until the final struggle. this competition is only halfway through, there are still many matches left for Arsenal to prove that they are capable of continuing to provide tough competition. now, one of their problems seems to be answered or almost realized. I mean, Arteta is reportedly really looking at a pure striker for number 9 in their squad. If that happens, Arsenal's attack line will be even sharper with very creative players. also, the match against Crystal Palace must be a winning opening match for Arsenal to get a good start in advancing to the next matches with a win. Arsenal's goal is not only to shift Aston Villa's ranking, but to compete fiercely in the race for the top of the standings. I just hope that Arteta really brings in a pure, established striker who they can rely on as a goal-scoring machine in their squad. in this way, Arsenal will become more competitive and not only in the Premier League, but also become an opponent to be reckoned with in the Champions League. well, let's just wait and see how Arsenal will face Crystal Palace this week at the Emirates.
