Arsenal has been one of the most consistent teams over the last two seasons, and the Gunners are now working hard to turn that consistency into tangible rewards.
Mikel Arteta’s side will once again have to overcome the formidable challenge of Manchester City if they are to win the title.
Additionally, Liverpool and Manchester United are expected to be strong contenders in this season’s race.
Arsenal is focused on strengthening its squad, but even without new signings, the Gunners are still capable of challenging for the title. This confidence stems from the fact that Arteta has transformed them into a well-oiled, winning machine.
However, former Gunner Paul Merson has expressed doubts and made a surprising prediction regarding Arsenal’s season.
He predicted on Sky Sports:
‘I know after their performances in recent seasons in the Premier League this might be slightly controversial, but I think Arsenal are a couple of injuries away from being in a battle to make the top four.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Every team has to deal with a delicate situation, like suffering several injuries, so we are not different and have to find a way to still win.

I think Merson has a point but that would apply to City if the likes of Rodri and Haaland were injured. It depends on who the mystery injured players would be at Arsenal and for how long
Having players that are able to mix and match positions on the pitch reduces the pressure if and when injuries occur
On the mark again Sue. Also, even without injuries, depending on the outcome of many things including just plain bad luck, Arsenal could still find itself in a battle for the top four. That said, 🤞 and toes for the title.
It’s all about the depth and skill of the squad overall, isn’t it. That’s why I think what Arsenal (and City as well) do in the remainder of this transfer window could be a key factor over the season.
Emerson just ended up saying rubbish to make himself relevant and lots of us bought into his idea.
Who on earth doesn’t have injuries.
Simple if Mikel gets a good midfielder and attacker, sell Nketiah, Kiwior, Ramsdale and Nelson.
That’s all
Well yeah obviously if we lose Saka Odegaard and Rice as it stands they can’t be properly replaced Merino might come in and he could replace Rice at a pinch and we might get another attacker who could stand in for Saka hopefully we do Odegaard we haven’t and probably couldn’t get a replacement for him Some say Nwaneri but that would be asking a lot At the back we have more options but you’d still fear losing that CB partnership. It’s the same for everyone who loses their best players they’re gonna go down levels
