In the run-up to the match, renowned soccer pundit Martin Keown had the audacity to offer his insights on Arsenal's current situation and the prospects of the Premier League title race on the eve of Arsenal's crucial battle against Brentford. He bluntly pointed out that Arsenal this season can be described as a difficult step, internal and external problems, slack discipline and frequent injuries have become a stumbling block to the team's development, especially the team's core Ödgö and Saka's occasional injuries, but also on the team's combat effectiveness has caused a fatal blow.
Keown further elaborated that despite the fact that Arsenal's manager Arteta is doing his best to meet the challenge and the team still has enough time to adjust their form, this season is undoubtedly an arduous marathon for Arsenal. He backed it up with detailed data that Arsenal's record last season is comparable to this season's, with only a four-point difference, the same number of goals conceded, and only a handful of fewer goals scored, which is enough to show that the team is on the right path and is moving forward steadily, but in order to ask for the title, it needs to make a breakthrough in its performance.
In addition, Keown also expressed his dissatisfaction with Chelsea's performance in the last two games. He was expecting the Premier League's top three to add interest to the tournament, but Chelsea's losses have made the title race a little dull. He emphasized that Arsenal need to seek more goals in the attacking end, especially in the face of Diaz and Gacobo and other top defenders, if you can improve the team's front line three goal scoring efficiency, will greatly enhance the competitiveness of Arsenal in the title race.
