In the pre-match clash between Arsenal and Brentford, renowned pundit Martin Keown gave his unique insights into the current situation of the two teams and the Premier League's battle for supremacy. He said that Arsenal is struggling this season, facing the double blow of ill-discipline and frequent injuries, especially the absence of the two core players, Odego and Saka, has caused an impact on the team's strategic layout that can not be ignored.
Keown further pointed out that despite Coach Arteta's efforts to adjust his tactics in the face of adversity, the team still has a chance to get back to its best form, but this season will undoubtedly be a challenging marathon for Arsenal. He used statistics as evidence, pointing out that Arsenal is only four points behind compared to last season, the number of goals conceded is the same, and the number of goals scored is only one goal inferior, suggesting that although the team is on the right track and moving forward steadily, but in order to ask for the title, it is still necessary to climb the peak in performance.
Meanwhile, Keown expressed his dissatisfaction with Chelsea's recent performance. He was expecting the three contenders to add interest to the tournament, but Chelsea's consecutive losses have made the title race a bit boring. He emphasized that Arsenal's offense needs more firepower support, especially in the face of Diaz and Gakpo and other power players, if you can improve the efficiency of the goal, will undoubtedly add important weight for the team to compete for the title.
