Arsenal even currently has the same number of points as Liverpool. So they are currently at the top of the standings without any comfort. Because Arsenal leads the standings only because they have an advantage in goal difference compared to Liverpool. Liverpool's condition of always having injured players seems to have become a habit that Klopp faces. And Klopp can always handle it. And Pep is the same. Pep has always been able to maintain Man City's performance even though several of their important players have suffered injuries. So Arsenal cannot afford to be careless at this time. Arsenal must continue to fight harder to maintain their position at the top of the current standings. Because just one defeat or even one draw is achieved by Arsenal, this has the potential to throw them straight back to 3rd place.
In essence, even though Arsenal is at the top of the standings, Arsenal cannot actually be happy with their current position. Because Man City, which is ranked 3rd, also only has a difference of 1 point with Arsenal who are at the top. So everything is still uncertain and changes can happen in just an instant. Just one mistake in one match will make Arsenal fall. And one week can even make these three teams change positions quickly. So Arsenal still haven't found comfort. Mikel Arteta just has to keep the Arsenal squad in their best condition for the remainder of this season. And last season's mistakes, such as injured players, must be avoided by Arsenal. Although they are now also ready with better second-tier players. But the performance of the main players will still be difficult to replace by second-tier players.
