On the eve of Arsenal's clash with Brentford, renowned commentator Martin Keown gave his insights on the match and the Premier League title race. Keown said that Arsenal has been struggling this season, facing disciplinary challenges and frequent injuries, and the absence of core players Odego and Saka has dealt a heavy blow to the team.
Nonetheless, Keown also sees the efforts of Coach Arteta in the face of adversity and believes that the team still has a chance to adjust its form. He pointed out that Arsenal's stats are comparable to those of last season, with only the same number of goals conceded and slightly fewer goals scored, which reflects the fact that the team is on the right path but needs to go further in terms of performance in order to ask for the title.
In addition, Keown expressed his dissatisfaction with Chelsea's recent performance. The original three-legged championship pattern is slightly monotonous due to Chelsea's loss, and he emphasized that Arsenal needs to find more scoring opportunities when facing top defenders such as Diaz and Gakpo. He believes that if Arsenal's forward trio can improve their scoring efficiency, it will help the team on the road to the title.
