Many Fans are not just looking down on Arsenal but rather they are trying to lessen the amount of disappointment they got las year before it happened again. Arsenal had similar advantage last season and blew it up, although this time around they are going to have to go against not just Manchester city but also Liverpool.

Yes, this season or last season, Arsenal does have the same opportunity to win the Premier League trophy. However, last season Arsenal were unable to compete with Manchester City and in the end were only able to finish in second place in the standings. So this season the scheme is actually not much different from last season. However, what is different this season is that Arsenal players appear more confident. The proof is that this season Arsenal was able to match and even beat Manchester City. In contrast to last season, in their 3 meetings with Manchester City, Arsenal always lost to Manchester City.
So if you look at it, it looks like Arsenal is getting better this season.
So, it is not impossible that Arsenal this season can become Premier League champions. Because this season the performance is indeed better. However, in my personal opinion, Arsenal's biggest obstacle this season is not Manchester City but Liverpool. The reason is that in the remaining matches Liverpool will definitely continue to fight to continue to achieve the full 3 points. Apart from that, in the remaining matches that Liverpool currently has, it could be said that the team they are playing against is not very strong. So the possibility of Liverpool continuing to win in every match in the Premier League will indeed be very large. Therefore, Arsenal's biggest challenge now is to continue to consistently win and score more goals. So when the points obtained are the same as Liverpool, Arsenal remains superior in terms of scoring goals.
