While Liverpool appeared to have lost their mojo in the Premier League last season, Arsenal seemed to have recovered theirs; their fortunes appeared to have flipped. The Gunners found themselves as the team that gave Manchester City, who have been the real deal in the Premier League for the last six years, a run for their money.
However, unlike Jurgen Klopp’s success in the 2019–20 season, Mikel Arteta could not dethrone Pep Guardiola as league champion. Arteta and his team will strive to win the league again next season.
They’ve made the required additions, signing top stars like Kai Havertz, who has already signed, and Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz, whose deals will be announced soon. Although there is optimism that the Gunners will be equipped enough to outwit City in the league after this window, there are rumblings that the Citizens may not be the only threat next season.
Liverpool, with players like Luis Diaz, Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Nunez, and a transformed midfield with recruits Alexis Mac Allister and Dominic Szoboslai, as well as an inspired Trent Alexander Arnold, might be revitalised to compete for the league title next season.
After Timber’s, Rice’s, and Havertz’s deals, Arsenal is still keen on making signings, hoping they will be as good as we expect them to be. Liverpool may be back to their best, but shocker! Arsenal understands how it feels to be at the top and intends to do everything to stay there.
Do you think the Reds will be a threat next season?

Nah.They won’t.May flatter to deceive.Will miss all the road runners they had in midfield such as Henderson,Milner,Fabio etc.Thats shy they’re still hunting Lavia.
They have the best forward line in the league. They have just signed two world class midfielders. They didn’t lose their last 11 games when Trent moved into the middle. The season before last they lost 4 games out of 65 and got 90 plus points. They’ll be far stronger this season than last.
We had a great season last season but many of our traditional rivals underperformed.
The reality is that this season will be a lot tougher, even Chelsea may be a threat who knows. United have been on a solid upward trajectory too as have Newcastle.
Considering that we’ve been the top spenders in the last 3 years this is a make or break season for MA, if he can’t get a trophy with all of his demands being met and been given the time he asked for, he’s in for a tough ride.
Including the community shield, I expect 4 wins from our first 5 games with zero excuses. Squad is his now and we have more than enough players on the books to cope with injuries.
While I suspect Liverpool will improve on their performance last season I believe they will continue to leak goals as they no longer have a top quality DM coupled with the fact that VVD is not the player he was.
It’s definitely possible
Only if they sign someone like Kane, Vlahovic or Osimhen
Apart from City who have had the benefit of enormous investment, stability and a top manager, I think we should be classed as being in a strong position ourselves.
Who knows? Their team looks good on paper,if you include their most recent recruits. But I’ve been a football fan long enough to know that football is not played on paper. For instance,not many football fans expected Arsenal to finish in the top four,let alone challenge for the title,whereas Tottenham was expected by many to do better than they did based on the quality of the players they signed and the pedigree of their coach. We all know how that went.
Liverpool’s home form was terrific last season and I don’t expect that to change. It was their away form that let them down. If they can raise their away form,they’ll indeed be a force. That said,I think them being in Europa could work to their disadvantage. As Arsenal fans,we all know how challenging it was for the team to perform on Sunday after Thursday football. If they go deep in Europa, I imagine it will prove problematic to them during the title run in.
Lfc golden time has passed and their best players are declining. Other team has exposed them tactically and are no longer afraid of facing them. In reality, it’s a pretty big task for them to be at the top again. Newcastle is a new force to reckon with. Eddie Howe is very good young manager and the way he’s setting up the team atm is very impressive.
I expect them to be back in the conversation for the title, but VVD is not the player he was and the midfield has to be seen to be on the top level again.
They are definitely going to be a bigger threat than they were last season given the two top class midfielders they’ve added. I’ve got them finishing in the top 4 – the title is probably beyond them. It’s getting a bit crowded folks but should be an exciting season.
I still believe we are the closest challengers to Man City but Liverpool have the potential to turn it into a three horse race for the title however atm they are still slightly behind both teams.
Interestingly I have heard a lot of City fans say they are more worried about Liverpool than us next season which maybe surprising given what transpired last season but the other hand Liverpool have previously gone toe to toe with Man City over a longer period than us pushing them right to the wire twice and toppled them once in the process where as we calapsed in the home stretch which had we not have done and/or got over the line their respect for us would be a lot more than it currently is so I kind of understand their view up to a point.
