With 13 Premier League matches left, Arsenal trail league leaders Liverpool by eight points but have a game in hand. Mikel Arteta’s squad aims to secure their first league title since 2004.
To stay in contention, Arsenal must be nearly flawless for the remainder of the season while hoping Liverpool drop points. A crucial showdown between the two sides at Anfield in early May could play a decisive role in the title race. Until then, the Gunners need to focus on winning each match and relying on favorable results elsewhere.
Arteta’s task is made tougher by ongoing injury struggles. Currently, Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling, and Ethan Nwaneri are Arsenal’s only available forwards, with Mikel Merino filling in as a makeshift striker during their 2-0 victory over Leicester City.
Arsenal’s remaining fixtures include away games against Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, and Liverpool, along with home matches against Chelsea and Newcastle. But how might they perform in the final stretch of the season?
