The Missing 10%: Can Arsenal Overcome Their Rivals to Win the Premier League?

Arsenal are on the brink of achieving something they haven’t managed since 2004 – winning the Premier League title. However, with just eight matches left to play, they find themselves just six points ahead of second-place Manchester City. While the Gunners have been impressive this season, their inability to perform against their main rivals could ultimately cost them the title.

Recent results have highlighted this issue, with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool and defeats to Newcastle and Manchester City. Despite these setbacks, Arsenal still have a chance to turn things around, but they need to win their upcoming clash with Manchester City on April 26 to regain momentum.

Under the leadership of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have made significant progress this season. However, the final hurdle they need to jump is winning against the best teams in the league when the pressure is at its highest. Only then will they be able to claim the title that has eluded them for so many years.

The Challenge for Arsenal

With fixtures against Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle still to come, Arsenal face a tough challenge in their bid for the title. They will need to amass 95 points to finish as champions – a significant increase from their current tally of 73. Winning against teams like Manchester City will be crucial, as dropping points could prove costly in the run-in.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have already broken the 90-point barrier three times in the last five seasons and are the team to beat. They have consistently performed against their rivals, both at home and away, and tend to get better as the season progresses. This presents a formidable challenge for Arsenal, and they will need to bring their A-game in the remaining matches to stand a chance of winning the title.

The Final Push

The end of the season is always a test of nerve, and this season is no exception. Arsenal have shown significant improvement this year, but they need to deliver when it matters most. If they manage to secure a victory or a draw against Manchester City, it will provide them with the confidence they need to push on and claim the title.
