On the eve of the upcoming match between Arsenal and Brentford, renowned soccer pundit Martin Keown gave his insights on Arsenal's recent situation and the EPL title race. Keown said that Arsenal is struggling this season, facing the plight of ill-discipline and frequent injuries, and the absence of core players Odego and Saka has dealt a fatal blow to the team.
Nonetheless, Keown believes that Coach Arteta is working hard to overcome the challenges and the team still has a chance to adjust its form. He pointed out that Arsenal's stats are comparable to last season's, with only four fewer points, the same number of goals conceded and only one fewer goal scored, which implies that the team is on the right path, but a breakthrough in performance is needed to ask for the title.
In addition, Keown expressed his dissatisfaction with Chelsea's recent losses in two matches. He was looking forward to a three-team competition, but Chelsea's losses have made the pattern of the title race a little thin. Keown emphasized that Arsenal need to seek more scoring opportunities on the front line, especially when facing such strong enemies as Diaz and Gakpo, if you can improve the goal scoring efficiency of the front line, will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the team's road to the championship.
