5 reasons why Arsenal have a shot at winning the EPL this year 

#1 No Champions League football

Bayern Munich have beaten Arsenal 5-1 in the past three times they've met

For the first time in Arsène Wenger’s reign at the club, the Gunners will not be involved in Champions League football. Such a unique situation will allow this top 4 contending team to focus on what the fans want the most, the Premier League.

Arsenal may be in the Europa League but for a club of the stature of Arsenal, the competition is only as important as the EFL Cup. The competition will be used to give fringe players game time and opportunities to experiment new tactics.

We saw how much not having European football helped the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool last year, as they were literally undistracted for more than half the campaign. Their thin squads weren’t stretched to the limits like Arsenal’s was.

Now Arsène Wenger for the first time in his career can focus solely on the Premier League title without worrying about mid-week ties in Barcelona or Munich.
