A big question many soccer fans ask is, “Will Arsenal actually win the League this year?” Arsenal have been infamous for the past couple years because of their propensity to get second place in the Premier League. In the 2024-2025 season, Arsenal was second place behind Liverpool by a 10 point margin. In the 2023-2024 season, Arsenal was second place behind Manchester City by two points, and in the 2022-2023 season, Arsenal was second place behind Manchester City again, but by five points. Even with all these seasons that they have fallen short, the 2025-2026 season is looking very promising for the Arsenal squad. They are currently first place in the league with 33 points, two points over the second place team, Manchester City. Arsenal has won 10 games, drew three, and lost two so far in the Premier League.
They have been also backing up this great performance in the Champions League, with Arsenal winning five of five matches and beating Bayern Munchen, a very dangerous team at the moment that has a 3-1 record. The success of Arsenal’s recent performance is credited to their dominating defence. With information from transfermarkt, William Saliba has been in amazing form, being a staple in Arsenal’s victories. But, arguably, they have an even better defender at the moment, Gabriel Magalhaes. Currently, he has three goals and assists and has shut down many players to keep Arsenal at the top. Arsenal has only conceded eight goals in all competitions, which is a very good feat for the whole Arsenal defense and goal keeper. Arsenal has been getting slandered for some time now because of them getting second place three years in a row, so if they are able to win the league, it will be huge!
Freshman Gabriel Muir said that he believes Saka will be the best Arsenal player at the end of the season because of his great potential. Muir said that if Arsenal wants to win the Champions League, they will have to stay injury free and keep their good chemistry. He finished, “Arsenal has been doing good, and it’s because of their strong team chemistry and high end players.”
