Arsenal looks better because the team's progress continues to move in a positive direction, but whether or not they win at the end of the season is not only determined by the team's performance, there are several factors, one of which is mentality and I think that is a strong reason. they cannot become champions because mentally they are no better than Manchester City.
If you look at the progress they are going through, of course for next season Arsenal's performance can be even better, but winning the Premier League title is not easy, this is the most competitive competition.
Quite a reasonable point because if you are look at Arsenal’s performance it’s very impressive and one of the best in the league if not the best but compared to Manchester City you will know that there is something lacking in Arsenal and that’s what Manchester City has more than them. I don’t know if it’s experience or mentality i just know whatever they lack is what Manchester City has and it has been the reason why they haven’t been able to win so far.
Whatever it is they need to work on it before the commencement of next season if they really want to get ahead of Manchester City
If Arsenal manager can include some potential strikers among the new players they are bringing in this season, I think they will not going to end next season in a second position than to win the title.
They lack a prolific striker that is capable of winning matches for them singlehandedly just like Haaland is doing at Manchester City, i believe if they can get a striker their chances of winning the title might increase a bit.
