Arsenal: Team Analysis and Preview
Arsenal last won the trophy in 2003-04. They are currently six points behind the leaders Liverpool, which has racked up 46 points and has the advantage of playing one match less (19) than Arsenal (20).
They started the season strong but have dropped several points due to draws. They’ve drawn 7 matches, leaving them with only 40 points out of a possible 60. Nottingham Forest, which is currently in third position, also has 40 points. They are inching close to second place with successive wins in the last five matches.
The Gunners are struggling with form due to several injuries on the team. Striker Bukayo Saka (5 goals, 10 assists) is ruled out till late February because of a hamstring injury. Midfielder Ethan Nwaneri (2 goals) is suffering from a muscle injury and has been ruled out till February. Defenders Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu have a knee injury and will be missing till January. Striker Kai Havertz (7 goals, 2 assists) is back on the team after suffering from an illness.
Coach Mike Arteta is hopeful of breaking the 21-year spell and finally lifting the trophy this season. “All we have to be is show the same level of consistency and a bit more because the last year we have been the best team in the league, broken various records, and still haven’t won a major trophy so something is missing,” he told in a press conference
“It can be very tiny, small details, you can pick up certain games, certain situations, but at the end, we are so close and we just need to flip that coin to the other side to make that happen,” he added.
As Saka’s fitness remains a question, Arsenal is in talks to sign a forward in the January window.
