Liverpool remains one of the favourites to win the Premier League title this season, primarily because they are the defending champions. The Reds impressed last season, surprising many by securing the league crown during Arne Slot’s first campaign in charge. Over the summer, they strengthened their squad significantly, breaking the transfer record twice to ensure they remained competitive across all fronts. With a team full of quality and experience, Liverpool were widely expected to retain their dominance and continue challenging at the top of English football.
However, the current campaign has not gone as smoothly as anticipated. Despite their strong start, Liverpool have encountered a challenging spell that has seen their form dip considerably. They have now suffered four consecutive defeats in competitive matches, an uncharacteristic run that has allowed Arsenal to open a four-point lead over them. The Reds’ struggles have created an unexpected opportunity for Mikel Arteta’s side to take control of the title race, shifting the momentum in favour of the Gunners.
Arsenal’s Growing Confidence
Momentum is a crucial factor in any title challenge, and at present, Arsenal have seized it. Their recent performances have shown discipline, consistency, and tactical maturity, qualities that are often essential in a successful league campaign. While Liverpool continues to search for solutions, Arsenal appear to be improving with each game, displaying resilience under pressure and a belief that they can sustain their form throughout the season.
Liverpool’s decline could work to Arsenal’s advantage. Rival fans have often criticised the Gunners for faltering during decisive stages of the season, but the current situation presents an ideal opportunity for them to prove otherwise. With confidence high and key players performing well, Arsenal are in a strong position to capitalise on Liverpool’s difficulties and strengthen their pursuit of the title.
The Title Race Ahead
Manchester City has also regained some of its rhythm and remains an ever-present threat in the race for the championship. Nevertheless, Liverpool continues to be viewed as the team to beat due to their pedigree and recent success. If the defending champions fail to recover their form, the path will be clear for Arsenal to seize the title. Arteta’s men must now maintain their composure, sustain their momentum, and ensure they convert this advantage into tangible success. Should Liverpool falter further, the Gunners’ long-awaited Premier League triumph could finally become a reality.

The team that catch Arsenal shall surely win the league and I will try to explain why.
There is no bunch of football players in the premier league more hungrier than Arsenal at the moment, their squad experience, depth , strong underlying stats.
Some of the positive factors include the team long term understanding under a consistent manager, our ability to adapt with new signing and tactical flexibility and our mental fortitude as shown at Towel gate.
While some may question the gaffer tactical choices, his ability to make crucial substitutions and the team overall positive performance metrics suggest we can overcome initial challenges and wrestles away the title from the champion.
Gunsmoke,
And not forgetting our Manager’s new found man management genius. That’s two post’s now that you’ve not mentioned that. You’re slipping.😂👍
My fave the other day was we are a juggernaut lol
We now look like we have a team that can match or even surpass the all conquering invincibles!
What a time to be a gunner! – I don’t even what to imagine what rival teams will be going through with Odegaard, Havertz, Jesus and Madueke back!
Please let’s take it easy. We do start well sometimes and tend to end poorly, so we don’t know if that trend will repeat itself this season.
We shall know the mental strength of this team come March, April and May.
The last 3 months are when trophies are won or lost.
Hopefully our squad depth can give us that strength to cross the finish line.
SJ,
I’m with you to a point. While it’s nice to hear all these early season plaudits, and its nice to be top. The time to be top is after the final game of the season in May.
And lets face it, with a lot of the pundits and journalists waxing lyrical about our side. You just know their waiting for us to slip up, and then they will give it to the team with both barrels.
Journalists are famous for it, they build you up, ready to shoot you down. Something they take great pleasure in doing.
For me, we don’t need to get carried away. One game and one competition at a time, and see where that takes us.
Yes, exactly.
