Thank you for this. So many people believe that Arsenal is not a serious Premier League title contender due to what they did last season in the Premier League. Since the difference between Liverpool and Arsenal is just two points at the top of the Premier League table, Arsenal still has a chance of winning the Premier League this season.
Arsenal have looked serious so far and they have done their best to keep their title chances alive instead of letting Manchester City and Liverpool lead by more points than they do. Arsenal is only 1 point away from Manchester City and 2 points away from Liverpool, this is a form of Arsenal's seriousness in fighting for the title this season.
However, I still remember that Arsenal had a habit of failing to maintain their performance in several important matches towards the end of the season. That's one flaw that many people know about them so the notion of them not being serious about being title contenders is well deserved. This season should be different and Arteta needs to fix it, so we'll see if Arsenal can do it or if they have to repeat the previous story this season.
