Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield meant that the Gunners had come out of the game at home of the Devils for the second season in a row. It should be pointed out that compared to last season, Arsenal has a stronger dialogue this season, against the Premier League BIG6, without a defeat, with 2 wins and 3 draws in 5 games. It should be pointed out that Arsenal won the Christmas title by virtue of the result of the draw against Liverpool, which led to a one-point advantage over Liverpool and Aston Villa.
In recent years, Arsenal's performance in strong dialogues has been unsatisfactory, often beaten by Liverpool and Manchester City. Last season, Arsenal burst onto the scene, winning one and drawing one of their two legs against Liverpool, ending a humiliating run of head-to-head winlessness. This season, Arsenal's performance in the strong dialogue has been even more impressive, with a 1-0 home win over Manchester City ending the Gunners' record of 12 consecutive league games against the Blues. Meanwhile, Arsenal have also won 3-1 at home to Manchester United, 2-2 at Chelsea, 2-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur this season, and including tonight's 1-1 draw at Liverpool, Arsenal have become the only team to remain unbeaten in the Premier League's BIG6 domestic war this season.

Achieving good results could be the key to Arsenal's quest for the Premier League title. Last season, Arsenal was beaten by Manchester City, and finally finished second after Manchester City by 5 points. Just imagine, if Arsenal beat Manchester City twice, it means that the final champion is the Gunners. Taking a step back, if the two games are drawn, Manchester City have four points less, while Arsenal have two more points, and the Gunners can still win the Premier League title by one point. Obviously, Arsenal lost the title last season, which was the reason for the double defeat by Manchester City. This season, Arsenal have changed the slump of previous seasons of strong dialogue, and are now the best team in tough games.
After the away draw against Liverpool, and Aston Villa also won a draw, it means that Arsenal has a one-point advantage over Liverpool and Aston Villa, continue to lead the Premier League standings, and at the same time be crowned the Christmas champion. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said: "It's a pleasure, it shows that our team has been very consistent in the biggest league in the world and tomorrow I'll have a big meal with my family to enjoy the moment. However, Arsenal thigh Saka said that the Christmas title is nothing, "I don't think we can talk about the title at this stage, even if we get the so-called Christmas title, it's too early to talk about it, we were in the top spot this time last year. ”
When it comes to Christmas titles, it's easy to bring back bad memories for Arsenal, as the Gunners have failed to win the previous three Christmas titles. The previous three Christmas titles were in 2002-03, 2007-08 and 2022-23, and Arsenal finished second in the Premier League this season, and it is unclear if Arteta will be able to lead the team to break that curse.
