With the Premier League in its last six games of the 2023/2024 season, here are three reasons we believe Arsenal could be out of the title race.
Following a shocking defeat at the Emirates stadium in the hands of Aston Villa, Arsenal’s title race was dealt with a huge blow with saw Mikel Arteta’s men fall to second place on the table with two points behind the table toppers Man City.
For many, this could be one of those losses but looking at the final games of the season for Arsenal, a defeat in that fixture on Sunday, April 14, 2024, could have just jeopardized their chances of winning the Premier League title in the 2023/2024 club football season.
Bearing this in mind we have compiled a list of three reasons that could offer a detailed explanation as to why the Gunners might just be out of the Premier League title race.
Is Arsenal going to win the Premier League title this season?
Arsenal possesses every tool necessary to secure the 2023/2024 Premier League title with just two points behind Man City with six fixtures to spare in the league. But with their last defeat to Aston Villa, it remains uncertain if they could possibly turn the season around and win the league.
Why Arsenal might not win the Premier League
- The final six games left for Arsenal
The final six games left for Arsenal limit their chances of winning the Premier League in the 2023/2024 season. Fixtures against top sides like Tottenham and Chelsea are far from being easy wins for Arsenal after the Gunners had failed to beat the teams in the first half of the season.
With Man United also looking to secure a qualification ticket for the UEFA Europa League and Everton also looking to escape relegation, these are fixtures that could also prove difficult for Mikel Arteta’s men.
Here are the final 6 games for Arsenal below:
April 20, 2024: Wolves vs Arsenal
April 27, 2024: Tottenham vs Arsenal
May 4, 2024: Arsenal vs Bournemouth
May 11, 2024: Man United vs Arsenal
May 19, 2024: Arsenal vs Everton
- Player Fatigue
This was a huge challenge and one of the factors that cost Arsenal the premier league title in the 2022/2023 club football season. The same feat is about to replicate itself in the 2023/2024 season of the Premier League and as things stand, it could stop Arsenal from winning the title again.
The Aston Villa defeat exposed just how fatigued the defence line of the Gunners is at the moment with players like Gabriel, Saliba, Zinchenko and Raya failing to get the right cues and also take up the right positions as they have always done all season.
Playmaker Bukayo Saka was also not on the top of his game in the fixture and as such chances created during the game were very much limited.
- The outcome of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals fixture against Bayern Munich
This is another key factor that could affect the entirety of Arsenal’s 2023/2024 campaign as a victory could either boost their confidence going into other fixtures or a loss could also dampen their campaign all season.
A win could serve as a morale booster going into other fixtures in the Premier League and as such Mikel Arteta’s men would be looking to give it their all on Wednesday, April 16, 2024.
