Arsenal may be on top of the table with 36 points, two points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, four points ahead of third-placed Villa, and happily six points ahead of fourth-placed Manchester City, but they are far from secure, as Mikel Arteta hinted in his press conference ahead of his team’s match against Aston Villa.
The Arsenal manager believes that the 2023–24 Premier League title race will go down to the wire and that the race will be open until the very end.
“When you look at the competition, it’s so open, and it will be open right until the end,” Arteta said at his pre-match press conference. “It shows the quality and competitiveness of the league.”
In a season when many expected only Manchester City and Arsenal to compete for the Premier League title, Liverpool and now Villa are also emerging as serious title challengers. Man City are the presumptive title contenders, while Liverpool have rediscovered their competitive edge after improving their midfield, and Villa under Unai Emery are just getting stronger by the day. They’ve won all of their home league games this season and have now defeated Manchester City convincingly. They are becoming a team to watch, and Arsenal must be cautious when they face them this weekend.
The Premier League may have just become more competitive, which some feel hasn’t been the case in recent years with Man City doinating he trophy front. This year looks much more competitive and Arsenal just need to keep on winning to stay ahead of the pack…
