Arsenal v Liverpool Clash Could All But Settle The Title Race In January
It has been over 20 years since Arsenal last won the Premier League title, and if they beat Liverpool tonight, they could move closer to lifting the league title than they have at any point in the last 21 years.
Arsenal welcome a struggling Liverpool side with the opportunity to go eight points clear of Manchester City in second position after the Citizens dropped points again against Brighton and Hove Albion. Although Arsenal have a reputation for choking in moments that matter most—especially in EPL title races—a win for the Gunners tonight might just seal the Premier League title as early as January.
Why?
Title rivals are simply not good enough. The chasing pack for the Premier League title this season includes only Manchester City and Aston Villa. The Villains also dropped points away at Crystal Palace, making an Arsenal win this evening even more rewarding.
If Arsenal beat Liverpool tonight and establish a healthy eight-point gap at the top of the table, they will become almost impossible to catch.
With Manchester City struggling for consistency and battling defensive issues, and with Aston Villa operating with a thin squad, Arsenal will never have a better opportunity to win the Premier League.
A dominant win against Liverpool tonight, will send a strong message that control of English football is changing, and Mikel Arteta and the Gunners will fully deserve that recognition. It will also help them consolidate their lead until the end of April and win the English Premier League for the first time in over two decades.
