Arsenal maintained their excellent form after returning from the international break by defeating North London rivals Tottenham 3-1. On Saturday, goals by Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus, and Granit Xhaka secured all three points and bragging rights.
It propels Arsenal to the top of the Premier League, four points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and one point in front of second-place Manchester City. It keeps Mikel Arteta’s team in contention for the championship, although the manager remained unsure as to how likely it was that his team would be in contention.
Arsenal’s Next Matches and Their Potential Outcomes
Arsenal vs. Liverpool
Liverpool has gotten off to a sluggish start, ranking ninth with 10 points from their first seven games. The most recent of these was a 3-3 draw against Brighton, with Leandro Trossard’s hat-trick preventing a victory after a 2-0 deficit was overcome.
Despite their problems, Jurgen Klopp has sufficient talent at his disposal, and his players are capable of defeating anyone on any given day. It will be another test of Arsenal’s ability to contend for the league title this year.
Possible Outcome: Lose
Leeds vs Arsenal
In order to avoid relegation, Jesse Marsch’s team is rebuilding after losing key players over the offseason. They are thirteenth, two points above the relegation zone, with two matches remaining.
