After Liverpool lost points against Aston Villa, we thought that Arsenal might be able to reduce the gap with Liverpool this time. But now the gap has increased even more. Liverpool won against Manchester City and Newcastle. On the other hand, Arsenal lost against West Ham and shared points with Nottingham Forest. At the moment, Arsenal is 13 points behind Liverpool. It will no longer be possible for Arsenal to occupy the top spot of the table.
I think Liverpool only lost points once since the starting of the season and that was against Nottingham Forest and after that they never lost again, they only shared points even against Aston Villa they shared points, Arsenal doesn't have any chance again they should only focus to finish the league as runner-up. I give up on arsenal when they lost against West ham which really shocked me but I still don't blame them because 10 against 11 is not an easy task.
Nottingham Forest is strong this season. Despite performing irregularly in a few matches, the overall performance of this team is strong. Especially Nottingham Forest's defense is a shame. That's why Arsenal could not score a single goal in this match. I am not surprised at all to see this result. Liverpool also failed to win against Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest have been a very big threat for the top teams this season, the stood up to replace Aston Villa last season performance to qualify for the Champions league. Aston Villa choose to focuses on the Champions league and it really working for them that why Nottingham Forest secure a spot. Their match against arsenal last night was a difficult moment for both teams because the really needed a win to have more comfort on the table.
