Wenger Issues Arsenal a Warning Regarding Their Premier League Title Ambitions and Expresses a Singular Concern
Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager, believes that the Gunners’ participation in the Champions League this season may cost them points in the Premier League.
Arsenal led the Premier League for a significant portion of last season before eventually being overtaken by Manchester City, who won the title. This season, Arsenal has made a strong start, with three wins and a draw in their first four fixtures, including a 3-1 victory over Manchester United in their most recent match before the international break. However, City already has a two-point lead over them.
Arsenal’s second-place finish last season secured their qualification for the Champions League. Wenger thinks that participating in the Champions League has the potential to disrupt their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Wenger stated his thoughts on the Seaman Says podcast, saying that Arsenal has invested significant money wisely in the past four years, building a young and talented team. He also believes that they’ve learned from the mental challenges they faced last season and that they could potentially capitalize on City’s injuries to players like De Bruyne and Gundogan. However, Wenger notes that participating in the Champions League also has its challenges and could cost them points in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov predicts that Everton will employ a physical approach against Arsenal when they face each other at Goodison Park on Sunday. Berbatov suggests that Everton, who have struggled at the start of the season, should use their physicality to disrupt Arsenal’s style of play. Despite this, Berbatov predicts that the match will end in a 1-1 draw.
