Arsenal
EnglandCurrent form
In the last two rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal had not the most difficult opponents – Fulham and Everton. Undoubtedly, the title contender was obliged to gain the maximum number of points. However, this did not happen, the Gunners played two draws, now they are in third place, four points behind Chelsea and six points behind Liverpool. Moreover, Nottingham Forest is breathing down their necks, having two points less before the matches of the 17th round.
It is obvious that Mikel Arteta men now have virtually no room for error. Ahead is a game against Crystal Palace, which, as could be seen from the cup game, is noticeably inferior in class, but can close in defense, which is not so easy to overcome. Nevertheless, it should be noted that in the last five head-to-head matches, the Gunners beat the Eagles, and three times with an advantage of at least two goals.
Arsenal less than impressive performance in recent away games in the Premier League is somewhat alarming. In their previous five away games, they have managed to win just once, interestingly, in the London derby over West Ham with a crushing score of 5:2.
