There has been a lot of talk about Arsenal’s title hopes after the first 12 games of the season. Some believe they will win the league, while for those who doubt Arsenal will win the league, here are some reasons why I believe they will.
After careful recruitment last summer, adding Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, David Raya, and Jurrien Timber (who was unfortunately injured), they have a big-quality squad for this season. Arsenal has experienced its own injury issues, but they haven’t been hampered by them thanks to the better quality squad that Arteta has managed to assemble. Despite having nine injured players (at different times of the season), they have managed to win eight games, draw three, and only lose one.
Aside from having a strong squad (that might be enhanced further in the January transfer window), they have a quality coach, Mikel Arteta.
Arteta’s tactical prowess has been on display in many games ths season. Among other tactical moves, the inverted fullback role has been a hit. It has helped them outclass opponents and secure critical wins thanks to a calculated blend of attacking flair and defensive tenacity.
The Gunners cohesion and comprehension of the Spaniard’s vision indicate a team poised to compete for the top spot.
Also key players like Leandro Trossard, Declan Rice, and William Saliba reaching top form have boosted the club’s ambitions even more.
Players like Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli have yet to reach peak form this season, but I am sure they will soon, thereby paving the way for better days and a brilliant title run.
The Gunners have also demonstrated their ability to negotiate difficult opponents, such as winning against Manchester City and drawing with Spurs, Manchester United, and Chelsea, and not losing to their primary top six rivals, which emphasizes their title-winning potential.
I hope you can agree that the trajectory Arsenal has taken, as a result of strategic planning, skillful execution, and collective determination, sets them as proper contenders for the Premier League title this season.
The Gooners will be hoping that their title drought will be ended, which I am confident will happen.

I doubt it, unless we can score plenty of goals from set-pieces
Out attack isn’t as fluid as last season From open play crosses have come from left and right that we haven’t been able to score from. We lacked a CF that can intimidate defenders with his aerial skills and high box treats. City has Halaand, Liverpool has Nunez, Gapko and Jota this two teams has a better chances than Arsenal. As an Arsenal fan I am optimistic anything can happen in Epl this season.
Yeah I hope Arsenal will sign a taller CF in January or in next summer
We have no natural goal scorer, Eddie and Jesus simply can’t cut it, that’s what will stop any success this season for us. I know there isn’t that many natural strikers like Kane and Haaland, but we simply have to upgrade on what we have now in attack, it siml;y isn’t enough
Upgrade with who? It’s all very well people saying we must upgrade but that will come at huge cost and no guarantees.
Keep the faith.
Our chances are as good as any, what Arsenal
must do now, just remain in striking distance until reinforcement arrives in the January window.
Am not in agreement with the squad depth, but what I will say , we are in the conversation without actually changing gears, on the basis of that we could complicate matters, when it’s time to decide the championship.
I totally agree. Despite all the injuries and difficulty integrating Havertz the league table looks very good. I think they will improve as the season goes on and be challengers, along with Man City and Liverpool. Can Arsenal win it? Yes, they can.
No… just no.
Could go on… but no. 🙂
One thing is certain if we don’t improve and take it up a gear from our current form we won’t win the league.
The current players, or many of them all have it in them to improve in the later half of the season and I believe enough to win league. It’s a question of if arteta and the team can get it out if them, and the timing.
Hopefully we’ve learned from last year and realise this a long race, we don’t need to hit top stride now.
I think this season so far Arteta focussed more on defensive setup and physical attributes than freedom and attacking potencies. Perhaps after Christmas he will unleash the attacking potentials of the team?
Excuse me. Sam P. But had us Arsenal playing at home early this season not beat Man Utd 3-2 in the Epl? I think us did early in the season this season when the Gunners othricized the Red Devils 3-2 in the match to collect all the 3 points at stake in it and collected them to the bag at the Emirates Stadium.
The stakes are looking to be high in today’s Epl match fixtures. And particularly for Arsenal as they NUSTNT fail this weekend but be very successful in their match outing. For, the current two table toppers of the League in Man City and Liverpool could play to a draw game in their own match fixture.
To thus pave way for Arsenal to mount to the top of the table and sit there by beating Brentford at away in their own match.
This could be a chance for Arsenal. Which the Gunners should totally take with both of their arms to make a very good use of it and make it unfailingly. By taking down by the gun at least 4 hefty Bees to no Gunner stung in the match encounter with them at their Community Stadium backyard. And as a result possibly mount to the top of the table for the first time this season. And sit there for the rest of the season to win the title and win it.
Therefore. The Gunners SHOULD as a matter of compulsory necessity put ON the anti-Bees sting gear wear on themselves to thwart off any stinging attempt made against them by the attacking Bee or Bees in the game.
Bees 0-4 Gunners. Is m,y own final score-line prediction for the match..
I like how controlled we look in and out of possession this season compared to last season we look defensively a more capable outfit and like many I hope this steers us well by us being there or thereabouts come the final hurdles. And as for last season’s more fluid attacking and faster starts, well we still have those players so we might see it in certain encounters or when we have to come back from a deficit, we still have the ingredients. So we might be better prepared this season and it true when said we are pacing ourselves and expect a stronger second-half season
3rd 1 pt behind City with Martinelli, Odeggard and jesus playing far from their best form or not available shows we can definitely improve. They have 1 goal each from open play since the start of the season lol, fairly easy to improve upon.
