There are changes at the top of the Premier League! Arsenal will face Tottenham + Chelsea in 7 days, and Manchester City is expected to overtake

Due to the sluggish state, Liverpool has basically withdrawn from the competition for the league title this season, but Arsenal still cannot be careless, because now Manchester City has returned strongly. In previous seasons, Arsenal's nightmare of being overtaken by Manchester City is still vivid in his mind, and Arteta certainly does not want to repeat the same mistake.

Due to the national team match day, the Premier League was suspended this week, and Arsenal's many injured players also had 2 more weeks to recover. Starting next week, Arsenal will face a devilish schedule. Arteta certainly hopes that some injured players can return in time to ease the team's employment dilemma.

According to the schedule, Arsenal will face Tottenham in the 12th round of the Premier League, and then they will also face Chelsea. In just 7 days, Arsenal will play two consecutive London derbies. What's even more amazing is that between these two derbies, Arsenal will also play Bayern in the Champions League. Even if Arteta chooses to rotate in the Champions League (the group qualifying is not a big problem) and fully protect the league, Arsenal will be difficult to get 6 points in the two Premier League games. They may not even get 1 point.

You know, Tottenham is the best away team in the Premier League this season. So far this season, Tottenham have visited 5 times and scored a total of 13 points, including an away victory against Manchester City. Obviously, Tottenham are fully capable of retreating from the away game, and even defeating Arsenal and giving their opponents their first home defeat. As for Chelsea as a guest, it is unlikely that Arsenal will score 3 points. They are also a championship contending team, and Chelsea will never let Arsenal take away a victory easily.

As of now, although Arsenal is ranked first in the Premier League, they are only 4 points ahead of Manchester City. In other words, if Arsenal loses 2 games in the next 2 rounds, and Manchester City wins 2 games (away against Newcastle + Leeds United at home), the top spot in the Premier League will change hands. Obviously, the ownership of the top spot in the Premier League is still full of variables.

‍ So far this season, although Arsenal is the best-performing team, they have always had the problem of falling behind late in the season. Now that Manchester City is getting closer and closer, Arteta must have felt the pressure. Once Arsenal is overtaken by Manchester City after two rounds, it will be a major blow to them. Arsenal will collapse at any time early. This season, Liverpool is in chaos and Manchester City is still rebuilding. This is Arsenal's best chance to win the championship in recent years. If Arsenal fails to win the championship in the end, Arteta may have to hand over his coaching job!
