“All to play for” Arsenal’s title chances analysed after draw at West Ham

Arsenal has just dropped two huge points in their bid to win the Premier League at West Ham, but Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz believes they still have a chance to win the Premier League.

The Gunners have topped the standings for most of the season, but Manchester City has followed them closely and the Citizens are in superb form now.

The draw at West Ham means just four points separate both clubs now, but Arsenal has played a game more.

This means the Gunners can go seven points clear if they beat Southampton in their next game.

That isn’t how Arsenal fans will read it. Instead, they will feel their team could lose the top spot if they lose their game against Manchester City.

It is a possibility to be considered, but Blitz believes all hope is not lost yet.

He says on Sky Sports:

“Arsenal can still go seven points clear if they beat Southampton on Friday Night Football, live on Sky Sports. City are not in action next week due to their FA Cup semi-final.

“But Pep Guardiola’s side will have two games in hand – with Arsenal then going to City on April 26. All to play for.”

Just Arsenal opinion

Dropping two points at West Ham is a big blow for us and everyone can feel disappointed.

We have lost our momentum at an important stage of the season and it is very hard to feel confident about our chances.

  1. Arsenal will bounce back by Defeating Southamption dis Weekend.

    Surprisingly we will Beat
    *Man City
    *Chelsea

    And Draw
    *Newcastle

  2. Yeah, let’s all be realists and admit this is a step too far and we have been lucky enough to run the race this far into the business end against the most complete side in the world.

    No shame in admitting we are just not good enough, maybe bottlers is the right term to use since we have bottled it two season’s in a row.

    Arteta is slowing earning the unwanted bottler tag

  3. What is holding still doing in this club? , He only brings chaos to the backline unlike the cool and dependable Saliba. Arteta’s untouchables are Nketia, xhaka and holding . Imagine these three playing for other top four sides. Balogun for example is miles ahead of Nketia but he is one of arteta’s love boys.

  4. Bottlers is a tag deserving of one club only & we all know who they are.clue? Spursy.why oh why do people cont to big up the Barcodes? We have a tremendous record at St James bar last season.I have EVERY faith we’ll go there & WIn!This time they’ll have to come out & play & leave the bus outside.

  5. Saliba injury has hit us hard as he has been the rock back there nobody wanted to go up against.

    Gabriel tried his best but also not as good with Saliba on the pitch.

    We have threw away 2 goal leads when completely ripping Liverpool & West Ham to shreds away from home then backed off and lost it which will coat us the title.

    Saka was flat today as was Partey so both need a rest, Troassrd needs a start along with Jorginho on Friday night. We have done well but threw it away when we had it in our hands regardless of the City Away game.

    We will learn I guess but coming 2nd after leading the whole season while exiting all the cups early isn’t a nice pill to swallow

    1. Today like Liverpool was all our own doing and not individual errors. We started getting cocky and took our eye off the ball, then put ourselves under pressure, playing truly awful football.

  6. Sorry guys, but I think the dream is over; we are back to stack reality.
    I had hoped we’d finish in the top four and win the Europa League. Now it seems we will be left with only one.
    Disappointed quite all right, but not devastated. At least the dream of having Champions League football at the Emirates again is alive and well
