In the pre-match warm-up for Arsenal's match against Brentford, renowned pundit Martin Keown gave his insights on Arsenal's recent situation and the current EPL title race. He bluntly pointed out that Arsenal's season can be described as a lot of bad luck, ill-discipline and frequent injuries have become a stumbling block to the team's progress, and the successive absences of the core players, Odego and Saka, have dealt a blow to the team that cannot be ignored.
Keown further elaborated that despite the fact that Coach Arteta is doing his best to cope with the situation at hand and the team still has a chance to adjust its form, this season will undoubtedly be a challenging one for Arsenal. He emphasized that although Arsenal's stats are similar to last season's, with only a slight difference between the number of goals conceded and the number of goals scored, the team will need to make a qualitative leap in their performance if they want to win the title.
Meanwhile, Keown also expressed his dissatisfaction with Chelsea's recent performance. He was looking forward to the intense situation of the three powerhouses, but Chelsea's consecutive defeats have made the pattern of the title race slightly dull. He emphasized that Arsenal's forward line must seek more scoring opportunities, especially in the face of Diaz and Gacobo and other strong opponents, if you can improve the efficiency of scoring, will greatly help the team to compete for the title.
