Ricey, whats going on at Arsenal?
Odegaard is clearly the lynchpin missing for me but i cant see you pulling back another loss in the PL now - Liverpool look too strong and yes Arsenal have a decent head to head record against top teams usually but something isnt right currently.
City have obvious problems, they are decimated by Injury and i cannot see them winning the title, Liverpool could charge away quickly if they dont drop points soon, i just look at Arsenal and see a team almost trying too hard, i truly feel the coming 2nd thing over last couple of years is weighing heavily - time to go back to some basics methinks, Arsenal are the beast when they attack.

Like most seasons, team that adapts to injuries leads the pack. Liverpool seem to have limited injuries and a firing Salah 🫶 that guy.

Salah isn't staying, i think we all know this and Liverpool fans do too - they can console themselves that they got the best out of him though, another time without Ronnie and Messi and that guy would have walked Ballon D'or.
As for the Premier League - well lessons are to be learnt - even Chelski with all the players the bought can string together a perfect 11 and Arsenal now have an uphill fight, crazy to even say that after 11 games but at least Arsenal have one chance left - they clearly need all their top players fit and yes - to stay fit but they HAVE to win their top 4 head to heads now.
One more loss - game over for title.
If Liverpool are top by Xmas, i cannot see them not winning PL.

Different game for my team. Worry about PTS and safety 🤞 long way to go.

Yep - we could be having an entirely different conversation in the new year if Arsenal regroup, get players fit and not rush them back (thats my fear for you) - head to heads are where Arsenal do tend to excel and boy do they need to know.
Liverpool have to stop losing points soon or it will be over by February.
27 PL games left. Its times like these i wonder how much of a distraction CL football is because with respect to Arsenal, they would have to play at 100% to win that, let alone the battle they face to qualify now.

I have had to take some risks this week but calculated ones with Saka and Palmer nursing injuries and with comebacks looming...Diaz has to go in, hes undroppable right now and anyone without him in their team is making a huge boo boo.
