Why Arsenal aren't Title Favourites yet ...

After 21 games of the Premier league season done Arsenal sit at the top being 6 points clear of Man city , But there are several reasons why we believe they're not quite ready yet to be considered as Title Favourites , so let's look into them shall we ...

Chance Creation - Arsenal rank 5th for the most chances created by a club , they're not creating enough chances especially from open play , this leads to less possibility of scoring goals , which in turn reduces their chances of winning games - as reflected by their 4 draws


Injuries/Availability - Arsenal certainly are one of the clubs that suffered more with injuries both in front line and backline , they've been dealing with key starters injured and had to rely on squad more than ever


Control - They're not exerting much control in the games compared to their title rivals , They're controlling the game more Off the ball by mid block and press but On the ball control is less as they rank 4th in Total passes , you can't keep risking less control on the ball and win more games


Right Dominant - Arsenal have been more right side dominant since last 2 seasons , Less left side play made opponents predict and mark right side out , Arsenal needs to be more balanced on both sides

Less open-play goals and over reliance on set pieces , lack of chance creation leads to their over reliance on set pieces which is not an optimal approach for any top side


Their summer signing Gyokeres looks lost at this level , the league doesn’t wait for his adaptation especially for title challengers

Arsenal need to know and field their best 11 to get the Chemistry and Fluidity going as it is important to get the best players on the pitch always.

While the media narrative casts Arsenal as Premier League favorites, the situation is far from clear-cut.

Let's see how this Title race turns out .....
