I still remember the meme that depicts Arsenal as an elephant sitting on a tree branch. The way Arsenal failed to win a trophy is still the same last season, where they still lost consistency in the final third of the season, we realize, that Arteta is currently missing several key players due to injury. The next match against Manchester United will clearly be very difficult, even though on paper they are more favored. Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Chelsea will continue to put pressure until the end of the season, Arteta must now focus more on maintaining his team position in second place, no longer thinking about how to compete for trophies with Liverpool.
Arteta still have the feeling that they're still in the title race even with he 13pt gap, other managers have given up by declaring Liverpool the winner this season but the manager of Arsenal is not giving up. Arsenal are the cause of their problem I mean how can you have chances of getting close to Liverpool but they choose to mess that opportunity up, this shows that they can't win any trophy with all these injuries.
Against Manchester United I don't know if Man UTD can stop the Gunners from getting the 3pt because if you look at both teams they are the same just the league position that's the difference, they lack consistency. I believe the Arsenal side will continue pushing till they break the defense of Manchester United, the race for the title and the race to avoid relegation is getting hotter.
