There's certainly no iota of doubt that the 2023/2024 Epl season is living up to it's billings. The title race challenge keeps getting feisty as each matchday comes by.
After about 27 games played , the first three teams on the log table seem not to leave any stone unturned in their quest of clinching premier league glory. Liverpool sits at the top of the table after grinding out a last grasp winner away at Nottingham Forest .
This hard fought win leaves them with 63 points , a point ahead of second placed City and two points ahead of the Gunners . Looking at the log table , one's attention is surely focused on these three top teams which makes the title chase really interesting.
The Gunners since their trip from Dubai have been no doubt convincing in their efforts to secure the title this season. In the last couple of games in the league, the Gunners have had an impressive run of form. Since Arsenal's loss to Liverpool at the Emirates in the FA cup , the Gunners haven't stopped winning in their last seven games. These wins however come with large numbers of goals(GF).
Thrashing Crystal Palace at home 5-0 , making a joke of Westham United at their backyard with a 0-6 win , pounding Burnley 0-5 at Turf Moor and just yesterday another 0-6 away win against Sheffield United clearly shows Arsenal is basking in a goal galore frenzy these days.
Arsenal yesterday became the first English team ever to win 3 consecutive away games by 5+ goals. This is such a tremendous feat put up by the young Gunners squad no doubt. This reminds of back in the days when little me got bragging rights when gisting about the premier league with my classmates in Secondary school. I can imagine young Arsenal fans in high school and colleges waiting for the day to break to go brag about their team's current exploits.
Yesterday's match at Bramall Lane clearly shows how Arsenal these days are pathing the domination trail when playing other teams in the league. I mean we make home fans leave the stadium 20 minutes into the game. That's really scary and mean I must say 😂. At halftime the Gunners were 5 goals up already. That's just intense firing from all canisters and cylinders. 5 goals from different five scorers surely sends a message that the goals can come from anywhere when the team chemistry is top notch.
It can only get better from here honestly! . We have the highest goal difference in the league (+45) , highest clean sheet (9) as well . I hope the boys wax stronger and don't by no chance take their feet off the pedals. I don't see any of the top two teams ahead slacking , so there should not be any room for negligence and lack of focus for the Gunners at this point in time of the season.
Mikel Arteta appears to continue to improve and get the best out of his resources, despite one or two bumps in the road. They have put numerous sides to the sword this season, and that's an element of their game that has to be admired. You also have to admit they are enjoyable to watch, whatever your allegiance.
It's high time the boys go for the kill as regards making their title hopes and dreams a reality . The incoming return leg against Porto in the CL should be a match where they exhibit their dominating prowess for example. At this juncture one can just wish and hope the boys see this over the line . COYG!!!
