Arsenal have been more inconsistent this season than Chelsea, but I wondering why no one is talking about them, but everyone's talking about Chelsea as if any one of us expected them to win the title this season.
I think the reason why Chelsea have gotten more attention from the media concerning their performances this season when compared to their city neighbors Arsenal is because they started better than Arsenal and were been considered by many as a serious contender for the English Premier League title this season.
That said, I totally understand your opinion about Arsenal and why we should also talk about their inconsistency. Arsenal who finished in the 2nd position of the league table in the last two seasons at the start of the season were expected to be one of the major contenders for the league title but surprisingly, Mikel Arteta's men have been too inconsistent. At the moment, I don't consider either of Chelsea or Arsenal as a team that's strong enough to challenge Liverpool for the league title this season so I think it's going to be an easy ride for Liverpool to win the league since reigning champions Manchester City is also having a poor campaign
Before the 2024/25 season started, we only saw three teams as the favourites to win this season, namely arsenal, manchester city and also chelsea after seeing their transfer activities, while Liverpool, which was previously in the coach transition and did not even recruit a new player, apart from chiesa, was never considered as the favourite to win this season, but what we see now is that Liverpool has emerged as a strong favourite after extraordinary performance and consistency.
Back to the discussion about arsenal, chelsea and manchester city, I think after manchester city experienced a slump at the beginning of the season, we all expect chelsea and arsenal to be able to challenge Liverpool for the title, but in fact the two teams actually have more complex problems at this time, chelsea has not found the right blend in their game and strategy when facing difficult opponents, while arsenal, it seems undeniable that the winning mentality and consistency are their (disease)main problems which we can say have reached stage 4 at this time and are difficult to fix it.
