No matter how good Arsenal are as long as Manchester City remains strong then they will definitely be very difficult to make a breakthrough even to become champions. Speaking of appropriateness, in the last 2 seasons Arsenal's performance deserves to be praised because it can be said that in the last 2 seasons this is the best achievement for Arteta while coaching Arsenal, it's just that in terms of clear trophies it is still very difficult to happen.

Pep with his carrier who really knows what to do at Manchester City makes it difficult for Arsenal to win trophies and make a difference in the ongoing season. This season, big hopes clearly rest back on Arsenal because they see several other clubs that are experiencing problems, especially for next season Liverpool also I am quite doubtful with Slott who is just starting his first season in the EPL and some problems for the players that have not been resolved, so indeed this is a little complicated to force Liverpool.
Not that I doubt Slott but I still feel that for the first season Slott still needs adjustment and this could be an advantage for Manchester City because their rivals are a little less.
