Premier League - Matchday 19

Arsenal will squeak out a win here and keep up the pressure on Liverpool.
They won't.
The title will be done by Jan 1st and the margin will be horribly big by May, for how this isn't even as good as their peak Klopp squad.
 
Love the energy Brentford have high up the pitch. They're desperate to win it back quickly. Can't help but be more furious with our lot the more I see other teams do the things that we just don't do.
 
It's a North London ting.
Even if Arsenal amazingly beat Brentford and Brighton away, and we somehow didn't get smashed at Anfield, you just know Arsenal don't have a peal Man City 10-12 game winning run in them.
This is a bit disrespectful to them given they've gone on two big runs in the last two seasons, the kind of runs which would probably be enough to win the title. That being said, yes, they really do need to not drop points in these next two games and keep up the pressure on Liverpool. I do think they'll win these two games even though it may be a struggle.

Just looked and three of their forwards have scored 23 goals between them this season. We have scored 21 collectively.

They're not the last couple of season Arsenal though - the one that looked a really entertaining goal animal of a team.
Hopefully they can still make some fist of it though - buy time until Saka is back.

We did that last season.
This season has been horrible
The red cards then Odegaard Injury and now Saka injury.
And on top of that our attack is not clicking and our manager decided to spend 200m on Rice/Havertz/Merino.

I agree but they looked fairly average in the first half of the last season as well before really exploding in the second half. Which is why I just cannot agree that Liverpool are going to waltz to this title. Arsenal in the second half will definitely fight for it.

True about last season but I the no Saka factor is too big. Too much goes through him. Those tricky 50/50 games where he could sway things in their favour. Without him they’re still going to be dropping points regularly.

Agreed but if they can navigate the month or two without him and reinforce in January, they should be fine. Like I've said earlier, I do expect Liverpool to dip as well like they did last year so all depends on if Arsenal of the last two years can show up in the second half. I personally think they will but I guess we'll find out.
 
As it stands Liverpool 8 points clear of Arsenal with match in hand that they will win to move 11 clear plus they have to play Arsenal in Anfield . Why is Gary Neville still tipping Arsenal to win the league title this season?

He's probably expecting Arsenal to replicate the last two years and accounting for Liverpool dropping their level and also having to go away to a lot of tough grounds in the second half.
