There’s big competition for Arsenal and it doesn’t look like it is Manchester City! (Although that could change!)
There is no denying that City is a big rival and competition for Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title as we saw last season. But this season there is a new name in the hat that we definitely should not rule out!
I am not saying we should forget City or any of the other teams, but we should be really wary of Liverpool.
After they had a bit of dodgy start to the season, they have seemingly found their feet and are going about their own business quietly and calmly in the background raking up the three points, while City, Chelsea and Manchester United struggle along the way and are just a tad inconsistent right now which of course is good news for us as long as we can capitalise on it.
So with the way things are going this season yet again it seems like it could be Arsenals title to lose. Now I know there is a long way to go but if we keep doing what we are doing and the teams behind us keep dropping points then surely we should be on course to win the league..
Of course there will be more twists and turns to come and although I don’t want them to, I am sure Arsenal will drop points because everyone will at some point as we are seeing.
So although yet again we have a good a chance as any to win the League this season, – well we thought that last season too, let’s say no more about that- let’s not rule out City but especially let’s not rule out Liverpool!
But come May if we are still sitting pretty then maybe, just maybe, it will be our year!
Here’s hoping hey Gooners!

They are both equally a threat as there isn’t much that separate all three at the top and things can change real quick. Any team within the 10 points is a threat especially at this stage of the season, and it’s better to temper our expectations.
How true, change is inevitable.
Far too early to say but at present I think our main rivals will be Liverpool, Villa, City and Newcastle. Man U and spurs could also be outsiders, not to win it but for the top four.
Wow! However could you have known that!!
You must be the new NOSTRADAMUS. NOT!!!
lol
Liverpool are being overlooked as everybody thinks their lack of number 6 in midfield will cost them at some point but neglecting to realise that they have already played a bunch of difficult away fixtures like Newcastle, Brighton, City and are only 2 pts behind us.
I believe that unless we beat them at Anfield they will be 1st at new year and then people will realise maybe they are the main threat this season.
We will be able to say this more safely in a month from now. If by then it is the first two-time score and the gap has opened up a little from the others, yes. At this stage it may be valid But every matchday things will become clearer. After all, last year until the beginning of March we had sure champions….
City will win title
Capable of putting winning sequence together in April / May when we tend to mentally not be strong enough
Dan, don’t you think that competition in general is stronger this year? Won’t that make it tougher all round for any of the fancied teams – and that includes City
Honestly Sue
I believe mental strength is so crucial In sport
Do I see in May / April a David Raya , Havertz , Eddie Nketiah being good enough mentally
Nope
Just think what we were saying 12 months ago
That’s why he needs to drop Raya else it will cost him everything
Raya is showing the pressure of playing for a club our size is too big
So imagine then the pressure in April / May ?
Our only hope Is we build a big enough lead from now to March
Because March – May our mentality suffers
Nah, it’s a different scenario now. Mark my words.
Is it ?
Oh yes! It is.
Man City are still the team to beat, Kdb will be back for them real soon and I think they will make at least one signing in January.
Imho Arsenal and Liverpool will be their only challengers for the title. Credit to Villa however come the business end of the season I would be surprised if they are still in close contention with the big three.
Yes, along with City.
As witnessed from last season, we are our greatest danger…Jus sayin
The mind factor in our fall last year and that its where the experts coincided was the lost of Saliba.Thanksfully we recovered him and this year we added the magnificent Rice our defence looks much better;butt Arteta created another problem bringing Raya;hopefully this will be resolved very soon.Adding a couple of new signings and we are going to fight to the end.
It’s not so much Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa etc, more the powerful opponents that Arteta has given Arsenal with his lack of impulse control, Football Association and the ref’s. Even if Gunners are the best, they can’t beat FA and WAR. Arsenal FC will not win EPL 23/24.
But the Gunners haven’t been the best for two decades , not even close
Man City won the treble because they were better
Better manager ,better mentality , better defenders , better midfielders , better strikers
City is still the biggest rival but Liverpool look excellent. Also Villa, Spurs shouldn’t be discounted
