Can Arsenal still win the Premier League title this season? This is the question on the lips of every Arsenal fan at the moment.
The Gunners currently trail the league leaders by 12 points, but with several matches remaining, they still have a chance to close the gap and mount a serious title challenge. While the margin is significant, football has repeatedly demonstrated that anything can happen, especially in a season as unpredictable as this one.
Liverpool appeared to be an unstoppable force just a few weeks ago, with many tipping them to secure multiple trophies. Their form was exceptional, and they looked poised to dominate both domestically and in Europe. However, as the season progressed, their performances started to decline, and they suffered setbacks in multiple competitions.
Liverpool’s recent struggles have been particularly concerning for their fans. Paris Saint-Germain eliminated them from the Champions League, with the Merseyside club showing little resistance. It was a disappointing exit for a side that had initially looked like a strong contender for European glory.
Just days later, Newcastle United compounded Liverpool’s misery by defeating them in the final of the Carabao Cup. The performance was far from what supporters have come to expect from Arne Slot’s team, and it was widely regarded as one of their most underwhelming displays in recent memory.
This downturn in form has come at the worst possible time for Liverpool, raising serious concerns that they could relinquish their grip on the Premier League title race. While they remain in a strong position, their recent struggles suggest they are far from invincible.
Liverpool has previously lost league titles from winning positions, which should give Arsenal hope that the race is still wide open. If the Reds continue to drop points in the coming weeks, the Gunners could capitalise and reinsert themselves into the title conversation.
With several crucial fixtures remaining, including a meeting between Arsenal and Liverpool later in the season, the Premier League title race is far from decided. Arsenal will need to be at their very best, but if Liverpool continues to falter, the Gunners could yet have a say in the final outcome.
I know it’s a VERY long shot, but I will still have belief until it’s mathematically impossible.
They have lost 1 game in PL all season and we are expecting them to lose 4 out of the last 9 ?
Always support Arsenal but thats just not happening
Lets hope Saka is back for RM match – and Sterling can keep up the form he showed last week
I doubt that Liverpool would lose 4, but some draws might give us hope. But it’s still an almost impossible task.
And even if Liverpool were to lose 4, or even more, Arsenal have proven they do not have the capabilities to go on a winning run. More than ever now that we have no striker and hardly any decent options in attack.
Title was over the very second the transfer window shut.
I love your optimism, but with just nine games left it’s almost impossible to recover 12 points.. The emphasis should now be on maintaining second PL place for the prize money.
Hi.
Me too 🙏
It has been a minute since I commented on an Arsenal site but if we are honest with ourselves with our club, we are definitely not winning this league. We actually don’t deserve it by a mile. We have been poor this season, especially if we concider that we were going for the league. Same old Arsenal… It so frustrating but so typically Arsenal-like….
Clutching at straws. Shame that the international break is upcoming as a swift return to league football just might exacted a wobble. But not that much of a wobble. One can only hope that we can scrape along with wins to make it closer

Morning
My post hasn’t appeared
It is now, it went to bin again, no idea why.
All those stupid points dropped earlier in the season (unluckily or not), the Everton draw, West Ham loss and lack of any smart thinking in January such as bringing in Marco Ascensio on loan has made this season the most frustrating ever. Too late to capitalise on Liverpool’s blip now.
With Liverpool’s only focus now on the league, anyone who thinks that they will take there eye’s off the prize are kidding themselves.
After all, it’s only us that baulk at the winning line, as the last two seasons have shown.
Even if Liverpool somehow found a way to throw away the league we wouldn’t capitalise on it, we had our chance two years in a row and we bottled it both times, we’ve done that every time we’ve had a chance to win the league since the invincibles.
We didn’t bottle either of the last two years.
Two seasons ago we had the youngest team in the league, tons of injuries, and slim lead over ManC. Everyone thought we’d struggle to make the top 4 that season. On top of that, ManC won the treble. That is not bottling in the slightest!
Last season we won 16 out of our remaining 18 games, thrashing teams, getting a draw away at City in a huge title clash, and only having one bad half out of 36 (against Villa) in all of those games. It was a City style run. Again, how on earth is that bottling it?
Totally agree, the term bottling is an insult to any team or athletes competing at the highest standards. when Usain Bolt was thrashing everyone did anyone use the term bottling to the runners who finished second and third, lack of experience, not having the mentality can be applied but not the term bottling, I absolute hate that phase, you have had Arsenal fans saying the same term. If we can bring in the right players, no reason why we can not something. Refreshing to read a post like that
No but they would have if the runner was in front twice , had it it in their hands , had done the hard work and tripped over
This season we didn’t bottle it
We simply have not been good enough.
Can’t disagree with that
But you say it like we were miles in front on points and in quality, which is not true.
2 years ago, our injury ravaged, inexperienced team, had a slim lead over one of the best teams we’ve ever seen in English football.
Last year we had a extremely brief and tiny lead over City, and we couldn’t have done a lot more than win 16 out of your last 18 games.
This season, it’s impossible to say whether we’ve good enough or not, because of a colossal injury list, and 5 reds. No manager could have won the league given that.
It would have been interesting to see if we could have won the league if Liverpool and Arsenal swapped their problems.
Liverpool form? What about Arsenal’s, is it that great?
For me, the PL title for Arsenal was fought and lost a long time ago. Thinking that we still have a chance of winning it is completely delusional.
Liverpool now have only the PL title to fight for. With a 13-point advantage (12 points plus an insurmountable GD) they have all they need to coast home to the title. I can’t just see it any other way, even if it’s football we’re talking about
💯👍🏽
Like our potential signing of Isak .. that boat has already sailed as we didnt sign anyone in Jan window.
Lets keep going and ensure we finish 2nd and then kick on with a new striker in the summer (finally !)
no it doesn’t. This race is done and dusted. We need to keep pushing to secure top four and have good mojo for Madrid.
I believe anything is possible in football, for instance Liverpool may lose 4 of their remaining matches but at the same time arsenal lose 5 matches.
I certainly believe we will miss out on the league by more than 12 points
The title race is realistically over for us. For me, it was over when we lost both Martinelli and Havertz to injury.
No Saka and White were the big losses, Martinelli you must be joking he has been poor this season, can’t beat players, gets muscled off the ball too easy and can’t put in a decent cross, Trossard no better
We have 2 hopes for the title, Bob Hope and No Hope.
Reggie,
What about Hope springs eternal.😂🤣😉👍
Liverpool could lose four games in a row and we still wouldn’t catch them, Keane was right about the players they don’t have the mentality to win, it is always hit and miss with Arsenal, we could beat RM and would still go out to PSG or Villa, that is the problem with us, we don’t have the players to take us over the line, even Henry said we have to believe that we can beat RM, but the doubt is always there with the team. The skill is there, but the belief is not
The form when he had no pace, two good chances to score and messed it up, a team that knew it was out. £167,000 a week for Sterling I am led to believe is poor misjudgement and a scandal of wasted funds which could go to secure future players
Injuries and some inconsistent referring decisions have put paid to our season. Highlight the positives, we have unearthed some good young players and move on to the next season. Sign a striker in the summer and we will be extremely competative once again. I have hope, but not much else for the champions league, the EPL is gone.
So let’s blame Stirling for our not winning the title. Sounds desperate. A lot of errors were made before hand in starting the season with a poorly balanced squad , having only one creative midfielder (currently out of form) and over reliance on “The King” to bang in the goals. Our second half against Chelsea pretty much summed up why we have let the title slip.
