On the eve of the upcoming match between Arsenal and Brentford, renowned soccer pundit Martin Keown has given his insights on Arsenal's recent situation and the competition for the Premier League title this season. Keown said that Arsenal is struggling this season, facing challenges such as loose discipline and frequent injuries, especially the core of the team Ödgö and Saka's consecutive absences, the team's combat effectiveness has caused a considerable blow.
Keown believes that although the Arteta coach is trying his best to cope with the predicament, the team still has room for adjustment, but this season is undoubtedly a testing journey for Arsenal. He pointed out that Arsenal's data in the last two seasons is similar, only the number of goals conceded is the same, and the difference in the number of goals scored is only one, which shows that the team is on the right path, but in order to ask for the title, it is necessary to go further in the performance.
Besides, Keown is also disappointed with Chelsea's recent performance. He had expected a more exciting three-team race, but Chelsea's loss made the title race a little thin. Keown emphasized that Arsenal's front line must seek more scoring opportunities, especially when facing top defenders such as Diaz and Gacobo, if the attacking efficiency can be improved, it will undoubtedly bring new impetus for the team to compete for the title.
