We should not use Arsenal's past mistake of missing out on winning the Premier League trophy last season to judge them that they will not win the Premier League trophy this season, even though there is a chance of Arsenal winning it. Arsenal is consistent this season, and they are two points behind Liverpool. Arsenal has what it takes to win the Premier League trophy this season.
This season Liverpool, City and Arsenal have a very small difference in points and this will be a competition between 3 teams to win the EPL title. This is not like the previous season where only Arsenal and City competed at the end of the season. This season is more competitive and I think Arsenal must be really consistent if they want to aim for the title. Liverpool and City are playing very well so far. I think the Liverpool vs City match will be an opportunity for Arsenal to overtake second place in the standings. But Arsenal also have 1 match against City in the following week. I think the title this season is just between Liverpool and City.
City and arsenal have same situation last season but this time is kinda different as there was liverpool who is joining in the title race competition to get EPL trophy this season. I do agree with your statement, i can only find winning mentality in manchester city and liverpool. I found nothing from arsenal caused by this bottle job club was always very often in bottling the title.
Arsenal needs to perform very consistent to make sure it can still stick to the city and liverpool till the end of season. The opportunity to overtake the higher position than arsenal will be there. The only question will arsenal able to take the first place?
It's caused by the competition is just getting even tougher than your think. Arsenal had got very good winrate last season but it's still bottling it. This time is way harder for arsenal caused by there are three candidates who competed for the EPL trophy.
