Arsenal is believed to have a great opportunity to emulate in the footsteps of Leicester City who won the 2015/2016 Premier League. The Gunners have a great chance to become champions at the end of the season.
A few years ago, to be precise in 2016, Leicester City made a surprise by winning the Premier League. At that time the Foxes made a surprise under the tutelage of Claudio Ranieri.
However, after that the Premier League seemed to be dominated by Man City. Kevin De Bruyne et al. won four trophies in the last six seasons and was only interrupted by Liverpool and Chelsea.
In the 2022/2023 season, Man City are again the favourites, but the situation is more interesting. After 10 games have passed, Arsenal are still sitting comfortably at the top of the standings with 27 points, four points ahead of Man City who are in second place.
This situation brings back memories of six years ago, when Leicester City were surprise champions. Can Arsenal imitate this sweet story?
Superior 4 Points
Arsenal's current situation is also noticed by Michael Owen. The former striker who is now a Premier League analyst observes the Gunners are now starting to be considered as candidates for the title.
Especially after last week's win and in another match Man City suffered a defeat and the distance between the two is now four points.
"Maybe after yesterday's game, people will start to feel that four points is the ideal distance," said Michael Owen, quoted by the Express.
But when the Foxes were four points clear, no one thought they could be champions."
3 to 5 more games
According to Michael Owen, Arsenal will start to be supported as champions if they can maintain a good run for the next three to five games. If they are still at the top of the table, Mikel Arteta's squad should be considered.
"If they continue to go as well as this in the next three, four or five games. If they continue to win, the public will start to think that they are potential champions to be considered," said Michael Owen.
Moreover, Man City failed to get three points last weekend. So Arsenal's grip at the top of the standings is getting stronger," he continued.
Different Seasons
In addition, Michael Owen also believes that Arsenal can take advantage of the unique situation in the league this season. The league will be suspended mid-season for the 2022 World Cup in November-December 2022.
It could be that unique situations will continue to emerge and suddenly Arsenal will look promising," he said.
