How Far Can Arsenal go?

 Arsenal currently sit 1st, 2 points clear of Man City, and are looking very likely to enter the break obtaining top spot.


Before, it almost seemed too good to be true for The Gunners, but with a reputable sample size, all metrics backing up what’s occurring, and the performance level staying largely the same, how far can Arsenal actually go?

34 points from 13 games, projected to get 99 points, is form which doesn’t just signify a comfortable top 4 spot, but signifies a comprehensive title challenge. This feat has been achieved by very few teams in the league, with the only team failing to win the title being Newcastle.

Sustainability:

The sustainability comes from the consistent rotations, the performance quality, the best defensive record in the league - playing the highest line, and most importantly; overcoming a period of serious congestion, which clubs will be no stranger to, with the congested World Cup schedule.

The demise of Arsenal from last season, is often spoken about without context. Arsenal’s level has increased another level this season, but even so, form last season with most of the squad available was night and day, from the crunch time of Top 4, where CL qualification slipped away.

Having a refined forward in Gabriel Jesus, added depth with the ability to strengthen in January, a super young squad; this is only the start for Arsenal.

Limitations:

The 2 obvious limitations which prevent the Gunner’s achieving Premier League glory, is injuries to key players, in irreplaceable positions such as the 6, which would cause the level to drop, or the obvious elephant in the room;

Pep Guardiola’s Man City

A manager who has achieved feat others can only dream of, such pedigree achieved, in any sporting environment.

14/14 wins in the title’s crunch time prior, Haaland, KDB, among many others currently speaks for itself.

A very exciting position, a superb squad, playing some of the best football around;

I cannot wait to see what lies ahead.
