Arsenal’s last five Premier League matches could actually be a lot tougher than what many think, as they face two bogey teams in Fulham and West Ham.
The Gunners’ recent record against both London Premier League rivals is actually somewhat poor, and another slip-up is very much possible.
💭 How many points will Arsenal and Man City take from the next five matches?
Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester City over the weekend has handed Pep Guardiola’s team the chance to move to the top of the Premier League table with a win over Burnley on Wednesday.
Mikel Arteta’s team will now need to keep the pressure on City, with five wins from five, but that could be easier said than done.
Arsenal’s recent record vs Fulham is not great
Arsenal’s recent record versus Fulham is not great, and despite the Cottagers having several former Gunners, that will be a tough game.
The likes of Alex Iwobi, Emile Smith Rowe and Bernd Leno would love to see the Gunners lift the Premier League, but at the same time, they still have their own job to do.
The West London club are still fighting for the European spots and will have all the motivation they need to win at the Emirates Stadium.
🏆👀 I am feeling __% confident that Arsenal will win the Premier League title this season…
Just three points separate them from Chelsea in seventh place, and Marco Silva’s team will be itching to finish the season strong.
Arteta’s team have won just two of their last five meetings against Fulham, although those wins both came in the last two meetings.
The Cottagers travel away to North London in just over a week and that could be a very tough match-up for the Gunners.
West Ham could inflict yet more pain on Arsenal
West Ham could inflict yet more pain on Arsenal, as just like Fulham, their recent head-to-head against the Gunners is quite strong.
For Arteta’s side, this could well be the game in which they falter, as going away to the London Stadium will be so tough when Premier League status is on the line.
Arsenal have failed to win four of their last seven meetings against the Hammers, and this is another match where dropping points could be possible.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team have really picked up over recent weeks, losing just once in their last five matches, which has seen Spurs drop into the bottom three.
