Arsenal have repeatedly tried to compete as title challengers but as usual they are too fast at the start of the season but in the end slow down at the end of the season, I think Arsenal's incident continues to repeat itself every season and maybe this season we will also see the same thing happen to Arsenal, Arsenal So far it has been quite consistent and if you look at yesterday match in the Champions League, when you look at the match against Porto, of course you will see Arsenal true weaknesses,Arsenal could perhaps be said to be quite powerful when facing teams whose level is below them, but when facing teams that have balanced or stronger then don't expect Arsenal to win the match and that doesn't just happen this season because every season the Arsenal illness occurs.

So true. Arsenal has always been a contender for the EPL title for several seasons, even this season they are still competing closely with Man City and Liverpool, but Arsenal always sluggish at the end of the season. This is what Arsenal fans fear this season, that what happened last season will happen again this season when in important matches they were unable to maintain consistency.

I think to be a contender for the EPL title, not only tactics are needed, but also mentality and facing all the pressure from competitors. The same thing also happened in the first leg of the UCL league, it was proven that Porto was able to beat Arsenal even though Arsenal's players were superior tactically and materially compared to Porto. This is also because at UCL it is not only tactics, but also mentality, a mentality created from history. However, I still hope that Arsenal can continue to be consistent and not repeat the same mistakes in both the EPL and UCL leagues.

It is going to really be a heated encounter for the matches playing from noon today. Since Arsenal is playing last after both Manchesters have played, they would stop at nothing to secure the much needed win, else we know Manchester city would like win tonight as well as Manchester United which have happened to find form all of sudden.
Aston Villa gave quite a worry during their last match and were so close. They still sit well on the table and wouldn't hesitate to punish any team that slacks with goals or any team that still make defensive errors.
