Arteta’s Arsenal starts to smell the title

After more than two decades of waiting, Arsenal is back within reach of the Premier League title. The team led by Mikel Arteta is entering one of the most decisive moments of the season, holding a lead that excites fans dreaming of a return to the top of English football.

With 67 points in the table, the Gunners top the league with a seven-point gap over Manchester City, their main challenger. Although Pep Guardiola’s side still has a game in hand, the reality is that Arsenal has established a dominant position in the title race.

The recent win against Brighton consolidated that leadership at a crucial stage of the campaign.

According to multiple statistical analyses, Arsenal now has over a 90% chance of winning the league if they maintain their current form in the final stretch.

A 20-year drought that could finally end

To understand the magnitude of this moment, we must look back. The last time Arsenal lifted the Premier League was in the 2003-2004 season, when Arsène Wenger led the historic “Invincibles,” completing the league without a single loss.

Since then, the London club has experienced numerous rebuilding periods, coaching changes, and projects that never fully materialized.

In recent years, Arsenal has come close to returning to the top. The team finished runner-up several times, narrowly missing out on the title.

However, this time feels different. Arteta’s squad shows greater maturity, consistency, and the ability to handle pressure, key traits in the closing stages of a Premier League campaign.

Eight matches to make history

The season now enters its decisive phase. Arsenal has eight matches remaining, which will determine whether they finally break the drought that has haunted the club for over 20 years.

Every point will be crucial in the coming weeks. While Manchester City remains a constant threat due to their experience, the reality is that Arsenal holds its fate in its own hands.

If the Gunners maintain their lead and keep winning, they could even secure the title before the final matchday.

Mikel Arteta aims to enter club history

The potential championship would also be historic for Mikel Arteta. The Spanish coach arrived in 2019 tasked with rebuilding a team that had not truly competed for the league in years.

Slowly, Arteta has constructed a young, dynamic, and competitive squad, with key players like Bukayo Saka becoming the new face of the club.

Now, Arteta is only steps away from achieving something few managers have done at Arsenal: winning the Premier League and returning the club to the pinnacle of English football.

For now, the feeling is that Arsenal is closer than ever to ending a 20-year wait and becoming champions of England again.
