Arsenal will win the Premier League title come May.
The Gunners have won their last two games against Nottingham Forest and Sporting Lisbon.
These two results have shown that Mikel Arteta’s team have all the right tools to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title.
Arsenal currently sit fourth on 22 points and are nine points behind current leaders Liverpool who sit on 31 points, 11 games in to the season.
This could show that the Merseyside club are going to run away with the season, but cracks have shown in the league leaders, nearly losing to Southampton last weekend needing a last minute Mohammed Salah penalty to get them all three points.
Last season also showed that the Reds couldn’t compete with Arsenal and Manchester City and it will be the same this campaign.
The league leaders enter a difficult fixture schedule with Man City on the weekend and a loss against the Champions would see the Gunners have a good chance of reducing the nine points lead.
However, if the Reds beat Pep Guardiola’s side, it would be a big blow to Arsenal’s chances for the coveted Premier League title.
People have also already written Arteta’s squad off after a difficult set off results in October, but eight goals and two wins later has shown a different Arsenal team.
Arteta talked about the energy shift after the 3-0 win over Forest as the manager spoke to Arsenal.com: “I sensed a different energy 48 hours before the match. Straight away there was something that you mentioned, something else that was different.
“What happened was that instead of 12 or 13 players, we trained with 19 for the first time in six weeks, suddenly you are like, wow, the competitiveness, the level, the quality, the understanding, the competition, everything raises and that’s what we need, every single day.
“Train at that level and that’s down to the availability of a lot of players, they have not been able to do that and when that happens, the level will raise for sure.”
With key players like Martin Ødegaard coming back, anything is possible for the Gunners, but they will need to continue their form entering a crucial Christmas period as they travel to the London stadium to face an out-of-form West Ham team on Saturday night.
