#5 Wenger’s side on the rise
Trending
The month of November saw Arsenal pick up 5 points from a possible 9 but most importantly they managed to avoid losses against the top four contenders. And the Gunners have been growing in confidence over the course of this season.
While injuries to key players such as Bellerin and Cazorla continue to trouble Arsenal, it is the performances of other squad members in their absence that has helped Arsenal maintain this run of impressive form. Gabriel deputised at right back in the place of Bellerin and although playing out of position he did a commendable job of protecting his side’s goal.
And with games against Manchester City and Everton being the only games which can be deemed as difficult in the next 9 fixtures, the Gunners have a real chance to pull away from the chasing pack. If Chelsea also continues their current form, then the February 4th fixture at Stamford Bridge may well turn out to be a pivotal fixture.
Arsenal has quietly risen up to second place in the League and if they are within touching distance of the league leaders. If they can continue in this same vein of form, then it won’t be too surprising to find the Gunners are in the thick of things when it comes to the League.
