In the middle of this week, the Premier League will have a number of make-up matches, including Arsenal will host Chelsea at 3 a.m. Beijing time on April 24, and this London derby also kicked off the prelude to Arsenal's devil's schedule. In the last five rounds, they will play against three strong teams, and only by beating all of them can Arsenal have any hope of winning the title.
Chelsea are still in turmoil due to a change of ownership and managerial experience, and they are no longer the team they were able to beat any opponent. However, despite this, Chelsea still have the capital of arrogance, they have drawn 2-2 with Arsenal at home this season, and even drew with Manchester City away at one point, so it can be said that there is still no team in the Premier League that can despise Chelsea.
However, at home, Arsenal still have a certain advantage. They beat Chelsea 3-1 last season, and it took almost half an hour for Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus to score three goals in quick succession to blow up their opponents and leave Chelsea in utter despair.
As Premier League leaders, Arsenal will have to beat Chelsea if they want to keep their place. If they can't win this game, they have a good chance of losing the top spot. Because in the middle of the week, Liverpool will play Everton away and Manchester City will play Brighton away, and the two giants are playing normally, both of them are hoping to get three points, and they want Arsenal to drop points and replace them.
However, even if Arsenal can win Chelsea, they will face many tests in the future. Arsenal are on the road to Tottenham Hotspur (Arsenal 2-2 at home) this weekend, and not only are the two teams bitter rivals, but Tottenham will certainly not show mercy to Arsenal as they battle for a fourth-place finish in the race for Champions League qualification next season. After playing Tottenham, in the 37th round, Arsenal will also go to Old Trafford (3-1 Manchester United at home) to accept the test of Manchester United.
In five rounds, Arsenal will face Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United, who are also the most difficult teams in the Premier League title. If Arsenal can win all three games, then they will really see the hope of winning the title. Because next, Manchester City also have to play Tottenham Hotspur away (Manchester City have lost four consecutive games against Tottenham Hotspur) and they may also drop points.
Last season, Arsenal collapsed in the final two months and this year they are still at the top of the table, which is already a huge improvement. Arsenal did not drop the chain before, much to the surprise of the fans, hoping that Arteta can lead the team to a perfect finish, as long as they hold on for another month, they can hope to win the Premier League again after many years. Compared with Manchester City or Liverpool, I believe that many fans would like to see Arsenal win the championship, this old giant, needs a heavyweight championship to complete the sublimation, this year is the best opportunity!
