After last weekend, Liverpool commanded a 9-point lead on our Gunners in the title race.
While we hoped for Arteta and the boys to keep their winning run going in midweek (they were in a run of 3 wins in 3 before the United game), we were also looking forward to Liverpool hopefully dropping points at Newcastle on Wednesday.
Thankfully, that’s just what happened: we beat United 2-0, and Newcastle managed to do something Manchester City failed to do last Sunday: deny Liverpool all 3 points by drawing 3-3 with them.
Now, Arsenal has a perfect opportunity to put pressure on them and further narrow that gap, with hopes of winning the league in the PL homestretch.
After that win over United, I expect nothing but a winning run for our Gunners in the foreseeable future.
Looking at the PL fixtures, I can’t help but feel we’ve got 18 points for grabs in our next 6 PL games.Our next six league games include matches against Fulham, Everton, Palace, Ipswich, Brentford, and Brighton.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is entering a period where they’ll prove whether they’re title contenders or title pretenders.
While we should easily navigate through our next six Premier League fixtures, Liverpool must travel to face Everton in the Merseyside Derby; they must beat Man Utd at Anfield and stun Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The three games I’ve highlighted in their next six fixtures are ones where they could potentially drop points. They also have to face Fulham, Southampton and Leicester.
Trust me, if Arsenal manages to secure maximum points in the next six Premier League matches – or nearly so – Arteta and his team will undoubtedly have narrowed the gap with Liverpool by the PL run-in.
And hopefully at that time injuries or suspensions won’t continue to hold back this Arsenal team.
Are we feeling hopeful Gooners?

Smh we hope Liverpool drops those points in matches you pointed out…and they will…most importantly is our team to stamp their winning run mentality of such long winning run last season by putting such mindset and game play then 18points is ours…C.O.Y.G!!!
We play fulham away who are 6th and on form 10pts in last 5 games.
The Arsenal Juggernaut rolls on
Ok Mystic Meg, can we be more pragmatic and realistic and look at the results after not before. You don’t get points for predictions 🤣
Yes you do Reggie!!!
Dan’s predictor of course 🙂
You still have to be right, to get the points😁
And Sue, I don’t think they look any harder or easier. Again I don’t get the article. There are NO stand out easy or hard games. In fact a few of them, we play tge same teams.
Couldn’t agree more
The thing with the predictor is getting more points for the right score so 2 chances at getting points 😊
I hope it happens that way
Its nice being confident, but don’t assume anything in this league.
Over confidence is a dangerous thing, it can come back and bite you on the bum.
Hopefully we will pick up a lot of points, but as I said earlier don’t assume anything.
The fixtures look about the same difficulty to me.
