On the eve of Arsenal's passionate match against Brentford, renowned soccer pundit Martin Keown gives his insights on the match and the current Premier League title race. He analyzed the difficulties faced by Arsenal this season, such as disciplinary challenges and frequent injuries to players, especially the absence of the team's core Ödgöl and Saka, which has had a significant impact on the team's overall strength.
Keown emphasized that although Coach Arteta is doing his best to overcome the difficulties and the team still has a chance to adjust its form, this season will undoubtedly be a challenging journey for Arsenal. He pointed out that although Arsenal's figures are comparable to last season's, with only four points less and the same number of goals conceded and only one less goal scored, it implies that although the team is on the right path, it still needs to make a breakthrough in its performance in order to ask for the title.
In addition, Keown expressed his dissatisfaction with Chelsea's performance in the last two games. He believes that the original three-legged title race has been slightly dulled by Chelsea's loss. He emphasized that Arsenal need to seek more scoring opportunities in the offensive end, especially in the face of Diaz and Gakpo and other top defenders, if Arsenal's front line can improve the efficiency of scoring, will play a key role in the team to fight for the title.
