Arsenal may have had it tough staying unbeaten so far, but the next 5 EPL games could be trickier

Six games into the new season, the 2024-25 Premier League campaign is still quite young, but it has been quite exciting. It’s been nerve-wracking; we’ve already seen Arsenal win without Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. We’ve seen them avoid defeat in games against Brighton and Manchester City, despite playing with only 10 men in the whole of the second half.

As entertaining as the first six games have been, it is just the beginning. Our Gunners have 32 more league games to protect their unbeaten record as they look to try to lift the Premier League unbeaten.

So far, Arsenal has secured four wins and two draws; can they maintain this winning streak?

Arsenal’s upcoming Premier League fixtures are as follows:

~ Arsenal vs Southampton on 5th October
~ Bournemouth vs Arsenal on 19th October
~ Arsenal vs Liverpool on 27th October
~ Newcastle vs Arsenal on 2nd November
~ Chelsea vs Arsenal on 10th November

The fixtures against Southampton and Bournemouth may appear straightforward, but they may not be. Against Leicester, our team had 36 shots, of which 16 were on target, but we were on the verge of dropping points. Underestimating teams can be a big problem. Some of us, myself included, were sure Leicester was a “walk in the park.”

However, the Gunners are wiser, and I believe Southampton and Bournemouth will encounter formidable opponents when they take on our Gunners. That said, the clashes with Liverpool, Newcastle, and Chelsea will be very tricky; in fact, it is the trickiest run of fixtures, but if we can get through them unscathed, there’s no reason why this Arsenal team can’t go unbeaten this season.

  1. Whilst I’d like to witness another Arsenal Invincibles season in my lifetime. To be raising it after 6 games is just creating an article for the sake of……..creating articles !!!
    Perhaps best to re-introduce it after 36 games if we are still unbeaten. We might already be champions by then.

  2. I don’t think it is trickier than coming out on top and away from Tottenham Stadium, Man Citers and Aston Villa with 7 solid points. Expect minimum of 13 points if not the whole 15 points from those 5 fixtures. I believe the boys can do it the team is becoming stronger day by day and if all players stay fit. Merino and My captain will soon join. COYG

  3. I think although it’s possible it’s highly unlikely Arsenal will remain unbeaten for this season and create an “Invincibles MkII”. There’s a good reason why it’s only happened once in the modern game – it’s blo*dy difficult!

    There are, on paper, the usual spread of difficult and possibly less difficult games coming up but in the real world anything can happen.

    Southampton, next up, haven’t won a game yet in the EPL with their worst start since 1998-99 so it will be a major surprise if they beat Arsenal. The likes of Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea all look pretty tough to me and Arsenal will need to be at their best.

  4. no need to start talking about ‘Invincibles’, every other PL champion has won it without going the season undefeated and so can this Arsenal outfit

    it about ending top of the PL table with most points, if we lose 2 games, 4 games, 8 games, or zero games, it doesn’t matter, just finish top

    any how i don’t see these next fixtures as tougher than Spurs, Villa and Man C away

    Newcastle are not all that and Chelsea are a dice roll as to which Chelsea turns up

    1. I think Newcastle beat us in the corresponding fixture last season, and they held, and possibly could have beaten, City last week so that one at least looks reasonably tough, doesn’t it?

  5. The longer we stay unbeaten the more sheer will the players will display to keep it going. Momentum is key in football. If we get through the Liv, New, Chel game without a loss then i expect us to finish the year unbeaten. That would mean half the season which would be impressing on its own, but a full season nope no chance, no reason to even talk about it until we reach around 25 games.

  6. It’s always been tough, but with focus and determination, we can overcome any challenge and accomplish the impossible. That is the wish of all gunners!

  7. There is absolutely no point whatsoever in looking beyond the next game.PSG have really talented forwards who will represent a big threat to our back four in particular.Defensively they are not too clever and hopefully we can take advantage of their weaknesses at the back.Normally PSG set out to dominate possession but I suspect they will be happy to sit fairly deep and hit us on the break through their dangerous wingers.Our centre backs are likely to see a lot of the ball as PSG tend to use a false number 9, but they have to ensure that they are not dragged into the midfield area which would be playing into our opponents hands.A tough match tonight ,for sure, but one we can win.

  8. You are forgetting the false Robert Pires penalty against Portsmouth which was not a penalty he dropped down like a brick with no touch from the Portsmouth player – so you are not the invincibles and its tougher now than then – so at worst Gooners will lose between 3 or 5 games. Good luck.

  9. If a 10 man arsenal squad nearly beat the cityzens on their backyard…. I don’t really see them dropping points unnecessarily.
