Former Man Utd Man Sends Two-game Warning to Arsenal as Mikel Arteta Discovers Premier League Title Reality
Former Manchester United assistant has commented on Arsenal’s title challenge this season with Liverpool currently nine points clear.
Former Manchester United assistant manager Rene Meulensteen has expressed his thoughts on Arsenal’s fading Premier League title challenge, as Liverpool currently hold a commanding nine-point lead.
Meulensteen believes that Arsenal’s title hopes could be over if they suffer just two more losses this season.
Mikel Arteta’s team has been Manchester City’s primary competition for the Premier League title in recent years, finishing second to Pep Guardiola’s dominant side in each of the last two campaigns.
Many expected Arsenal to progress further this season and potentially secure their first league title since 2004. However, injuries to key players have contributed to their struggles, leaving them nine points adrift of league leaders Liverpool after 12 matches. This situation has placed their title ambitions in a precarious position.
Despite these challenges, Meulensteen has emphasised that there is no need for panic within Arsenal’s camp, even though their hopes of securing the title appear uncertain at this stage.
“In the last two seasons Arsenal have had to experience massive disappointment,” he said via tribalfootball.
“But they showed great resilience coming back last season and going so close until the last few games of the season. This season they have fallen away a little bit and suffered so many injuries, but they can still turn this around because they do have a lot of character.
“The experience of the last two seasons will help them. They need to stay calm, not to panic and hope that Liverpool and Manchester City slip up which will allow them to make ground at the top of the table.
“It’s still before Christmas and there are so many games left to play. Having said that, you’d think that if they lost another two games that might be too much to make up.
“They need to hope that Manchester City continue their blip and that Liverpool’s form doesn’t continue. I don’t think there will be one team running away with it this season.”
Arsenal will face Sporting in the Champions League on Tuesday before resuming their Premier League campaign with an away match against West Ham on Saturday.
