I think is too early to predict Arsenal final position in the Premier League. Last season, Arsenal performed very well, even lead the league, but they finished the season to end up in second position. That's how they lost their chance to winning the Premier league title. Arsenal has stronger players than last season, yet they are still losing their matches. As Arsenal perform well from the beginning of the season, I thought that is how their performance should be throughout the season. However, Arsenal fail to maintain their position at the top. If Arteta continues to improve his team, I believe Arsenal still has a chance to move to the top.
It will be very difficult for Arsenal to get back to the first position in the standings. I have noticed this with Arsenal since last season, when they were very good, but at the end they didn’t perform well when the season was about to end. However, as of this season, seriously, I don’t think Arsenal's performance will decline to this extent. They are currently, because how can a team topping the standings at the start of the season and coming back to the top 4, which is a very bad result for them. I also thought they would manage to be the favourites this season due to the way they started the season, but in the end, they failed to do that. However, I think what happened to Arsenal last season will still happen this season they won’t top the standings again.
We cannot simply judge Arsenal's performance in their last two games and assume that they will repeat the same thing this season. Arsenal still has a second leg matches to play, and if they win, they will acquire enough points to move to the top of the league. We are currently underestimating Arsenal, so what if they end up being the team to win the Premier League this season? I still have hope that Arsenal will win the Premier League title since they only need six points to pass Liverpool for the top spot. If they win the league this season, I won't be surprised at all because they are strong of doing it.
Although Arsenal started the season undefeated and even at the top of the table, but due to their poor performance in their previous games has dropped them to fourth place. Despite this, I don't think Arsenal is a weak team, rather, I think their previous losses may have improved them for their coming matches.
