Arsenal have now gone two games without a win, which has clearly damaged their title hopes. The Gunners returned to action this afternoon in hopes of a win over relegation-threatened West Ham.
The Gunners took control of the course after Jesus and Odegaard scored in the first 10 minutes. However, West Ham gradually dominated the game and Benrahma scored from the penalty spot before half-time.
Early in the second half, Antonio let the ball touch his hand and the Gunners were awarded a penalty. However, Saka shot from 12 yards, and Bowen punished him for it with a stunning volley from the other end to bring home a point for West Ham. When things settle down, Arsenal are now four points ahead of Manchester, who have played one game less, and that's not good news.
As Arsenal's form continues to decline, their next three EPL games pose a significant threat to their title hopes. Let's take a look at their next three games together.
* Arsenal's next 3 matches including date and time;
*Arsenal vs Southampton
Arsenal's next game is against Southampton, their last match. We've all seen how relegation-threatened teams play in the latter part of the season. It will certainly be an important game for Southampton and they will have to play to get a good result. It won't be an easy game for the Gunners, and I doubt they'll easily take the three points.
*Manchester City vs Arsenal
The records speak for themselves and Manchester City will almost certainly win this game. City have won the last 7 encounters with Arsenal, showing that they are clear candidates to win this match. They are currently in the best form and are keen to regain the top spot from the Gunners. In his game, I didn't see the Gunners walk away with a single point.
* Arsenal vs Chelsea
After losing his first three games, Frank Lampard is under pressure. Despite Chelsea's poor form at the moment, the Chelsea head coach will be determined not to lose in this decisive derby. Arsenal will definitely work hard to get all 3 points in this match.
