I’m sure we would all love Arsenal to finally go to the top of the league and set the pace in the title race. Well, after the next 3 PL match days, I see Arsenal rising to the top of the table.
If we look at our next 3 games compared to Man City and Liverpool, it would seem that both our rivals have a few potential banana skins….
Match Day 13
This weekend, after the November international break, the Premier League resumes for Match Day 13. A key fixture for the Gooners on this Match Day other than the Brentford versus Arsenal game will be the Manchester City versus Liverpool game. Any of Liverpool or Manchester City dropping points would be brilliant, but the best result could be the two playing out to a draw, in which a draw could see Arsenal go top of the table if they thrash Brentford. Either way the Manchester City vs. Liverpool ends, hopefully Arsenal will pick up a win over Brentford.
Match Day 14
On Match Day 14, Arsenal will face Wolves; that’s a game if they are keen to win the league they need to win. Hopefully, they’ll beat the Wolves. With a win over Wolves, the Gunners will be hoping Fulham don’t lose to Liverpool. they’ll also be hoping Spurs (who’ve seemed transformed this season) can pick up a draw or a win over Manchester City.
Match Day 15
On Match Day 15, Arsenal play Luton, a game that Arsenal ought to win convincingly. They need to score many goals versus the PL newcomers (to have more goals than Liverpool and be ahead of them in case they have the same points after the three games). Manchester City have a trip to Villa Park. Unai Emery has revitalized Villa, and hopefully he will, with his revitalized side, outwit Pep Guardiola at Villa Park. While Villa hopefully stuns Manchester City, Liverpool will face Sheffield United and it is likely they’ll beat them, but who knows..
The bottom line means that here’s a chance that in these three match days, Liverpool and Manchester City can both drop points. If Arsenal wins all three of their next three games, they will automatically be at the top of the PL table before we go into the crazy Xmas fixture list….

Arsenal failed to win against Spuds, Chelsea and Newcastle, so they must win the upcoming three EPL games to keep their title winning chance
I’m just worried about the game in Brentford, because our players usually play badly after a long break
I am also worried about Arsenal’s lack of physicality in such fixtures…Their technical side should really come to the fore .
If Tomiyasu, Rice and Havertz play, I wouldn’t be worried about Brentford’s aerial threat. I’m just afraid of Arsenal’s cohesiveness after losing the momentum for two weeks
Gai, if they don’t improve on the character of playing bad after int break then, the Boys aren’t ready to win Epl. The true mark of champions in the making is winning Brentford kind of games and go on a run. It will be a physical game so Arsenal must be ready. Hope creativity would improve now that Odegard is back in training. It’s going to be a tough game considering we dumped them out of Carabao cup in their backyard. Thank goodness Jesus is back.
Yes, a title contender should be able to win against mid-table teams. I hope Jesus and Odegaard will wear their scoring boots
I guess every team will be looking at their rivals schedules and thinking the same: ” we just go one game at a time while our rivals Knock off points from each other.” Liverpool for example will be looking at Arsenal’s next six games and probably thinking “Yes, we can beat them and they could also drop points against Brentford, Brighton and Aston Villa.” It’s going to be an exciting six game run down heading into the New Year and let’s hope some of the players we have been bagging here come good.
Those fixtures look winnable arsenal players come from int matches unscratched so hopefully their mentality is strong injured players like Jesus ,Ben and Odegaard are now recovered though arsenal still have some who are still sidelined Smith Rowe,Partey and Timber.
This is my preferred line up Vs Brentford
Ramsdale easy to pick considering Raya is ineligible to play against is parent club.
Ramsdale
Tomiyasu Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
Declan Rice Jorginho
Saka Odegaard Martineli
Trosaard
I think this will be enough to get us all the three points.
Later on White to come is for Zinchenko,Havertz for Odegaard,Jesus for Trosaard and Nelson for Martineli.
Enjoy 😎
Let’s hope we do top the leaderboard then!
The reality is that we have to play all teams so all an “easier” set of fixtures can give us is momentum if we take all the points at best
It’s all very well going top now, if we can hold that position.
Last season’s choke must be avoided.
I always worry about the Arsenal after the international break, it seems to mess with the teams rhythm and Brentford won’t be a pushover, hopefully we can put in a solid performance and turn them over, Ivan Toney can get a first hand glimpse of his new team before January! 😀
I think if we can get odegard back in the team. Preferably drop Haveretz then we can win all of those games.
Jesus, timber, partey are all big misses but we can cope without them.
Permutations only result to anxiety and expectations,,,let them only concentrate on their strength and go match after match, hopefully they will have the mentality to win mztches consistently. I am a big expectant of arsenal been champions this season.
We really need Thomas Partey in this tyoe of games . The physical nature of Brentford may prove too strong for Jorghino to handle…or better still Rice should strictlu play in no. 6 role then Le Capiten 8 and Trossad 10 …I am campaigning for physicality and higher wirk rate here…Jorghino and Kai H should be benched.
Brentford is a team that love to take scalps they will be relishing this opportunity, it will be a low scoring game with us taking all the spoil.
My worry is sometimes we don’t starts these games well and the gaffer is too slow to make the necessary changes early.
I don’t think Arteta will have a big squad to choose from this weekend with uinjuries and travelling….
🤨
We do have a good shot at leading the table over the next 3 matches because City haven’t quite hit last year’s form. I don’t believe they have properly replaced Gundogan and Mahrez and of course de Bruynne is still missing. Haaland, although he currently tops the charts, is not at his best yet maybe because KDB has been injured. But that won’t last. So yes we do have a good chance to hold top spot Christmas.
I’m just looking to get past Brentford unscathed because it is a tough fixture and then we can look at the table and the next game and so on
It seems arsenal have now signed David Raya from Brentford and has signed a long time contract.
Really? The transfer window isn’t opened yet
Surely some gentleman agreement was and still firmly in place, how else could one get a top in form goalie to agree to such a loan deal.
This deal has worked wonders for Raya as he’s now Spsin and Arsenal # 1 between the sticks, thanks to the gaffer.
Untrue and obviously so!
We are NOT ALLOWED to sign him until January, and it has NOT THEREFORE HAPPENED, AS YOU FALSELY CLAIM.
