Arsenal have been involved in three consecutive Premier League title races, and now, the Gunners understand what’s really needed.

Many pundits and fans have Arsenal as favourites to win the Premier League this season.

The predictions are coming very early, with Arsenal sitting top of the table after nine matches played. 

Things can change instantly in the Premier League, making the Gunners’ four-point lead irrelevant at this stage, which is something the Arsenal squad understand.

Bukayo Saka reveals what the Premier League title race has taught him

Arsenal are confident they can win the league, but, as emphasised, nothing is even close to being won yet.

Fans have watched the Gunners lead the table and crumble when it’s crunch time, something Bukayo Saka has learned from.

When speaking to Sky Sports, Saka explained that one of the main things he’s learned from being in three title races is that, until the summer months, the position in the table doesn’t matter.

“I’ve been in the title race the last three years now, second in all of them,” Saka said.

“What I’ve learned is that now is not so important; it’s in April. That’s when you need to be there, and that’s where you need to try and be first place.”

Saka also gave an insight into how hard Arteta is pushing the Arsenal squad towards silverware, something that doesn’t always go down well, but is crucial.

From the outside, and now inside, things look to be in a very strong place for the Gunners, who can’t afford to let another title slip, given their experience and bolstered strength. 

Saka’s contribution to Arsenal’s title-challenging seasons

It’s not just what the winger has learned that is a plus, as having a player of Saka’s quality is huge for Arsenal’s chances in itself.

Saka is one of the best in the world at what he does, and in the title race, his presence is absolutely crucial.

Saka has been instrumental over the previous three seasons for the Gunners, recording a massive 71 Premier League goal contributions since the 2022/23 campaign kicked off.

Keeping the 24-year-old fit will be vital for Arsenal, as not only is his quality unmatched, but his experience when the going gets tough is something the dressing room needs.
