Arsenal went past Bournemouth in last weekend’s tough Premier League clash, where they had to come back from two down to win 3-2. Even if they say this and that about Arsenal’s title chances, don’t you think people should be comfortable with the reality that Arsenal are favourites to win the Premier League in 2022–23?

Arteta and his team are still top of the Premier League table with 63 points after 26 games, and they are looking forward to competing in another tournament, the Europa League, this week. But, before we get into Arsenal’s trip to Portugal to play Sporting Lisbon, here are 3 crucial games that Arsenal needs to win to secure the Premier League title.

Arsenal will travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, April 9th. This weekend, Liverpool demonstrated that they are a team on a drive to finish in the top four. Anfield, as Manchester United discovered this weekend when they were beaten 7-0, is not a venue where you can easily go and stroll away with a victory, but Arsenal will need to go there and win (a draw may not be that bad, but going forward only wins matter for Arsenal).

Following the trip to Liverpool, Arsenal will travel to the Etihad Stadium on April 26th to face Manchester City. The Manchester City-Arsenal encounter will be a title decider, and whoever wins will have an edge in the Premier League race. Arsenal should outmatch City. Believe that.

Then, on April 29th, Chelsea will visit the Emirates to see if they can derail Arsenal’s title drive, which they may find difficult; the Arsenal of today is not the Arsenal of the past. If Arsenal can pull off these three victories, how can they fail to win the Premier League?

  1. You need to add Newcastle away to the list. Arsenal can’t will 4 but 3out of the 4 would be the best outcome where 2 wins and a draw would be enough

  2. Fulham away is a title decider, all concentration is needed. Another big match is the Sporting encounter, this week is crucial, three points at the weekend, please

    1. escaped303, Plainly, this weekends game against Fulham IS NOT a title decider and it is a silly thing to claim that it is , therefore!

      1. John I was laughing at the end. The question is how can Arsenal not win the league after beating the mentioned teams, plainly though it’s a simple answer. Plus we could loose the three and still win the league. So many ifs and buts….,.

        1. KENYA 001, I am unclear what point you are trying to make. Are you agreeing with my post or are you not?

          I agree there are many ifs, buts and uncertainties still to come , which is precisely WHY an Arsenal win at Fulham this weekend will PLAINLY NOT be decisive, either way.

          I was merely pointing out to escapepod303 that he was being foolish to claim otherwise.

  3. City are capable of winning all the remaining matches. Brighton at home would be a bit hard but the rest are winnable.

    1. Totally Agree

      I believe we had a big chance and the everton game we had chances for that draw

      Also Brentford Game and city game – I like Eddie but if you look at the chances he missed in all them 3 games it cost us big points – Balagun is our future moving forward

  4. If you add Newcastle, I would say 7 points out of possible 12 is enough for us to coast home with the title. Our focus among the four is manc. If we can at least get a draw, there is nothing stopping us.

  5. The last week we will play wolves at home while city will face Brentford away,I think it’s a title deciding week.Brentford havn’t lost to any team at home but to Arsenal.

  6. Arsenal cannot afford to take any games lightly, as a five point lead can disappear quickly, should Manchester City win all their games and Arsenal slip up.
    Yes, all the games mentioned are important, particularly Manchester City away (a virtual 6 points potentially); however the importance of other games like Fulham (a London derby) and Newcastle United cannot be discounted. Arsenal needs to stay focussed and concentrate on one game at a time.
