–  Arsenal’s best opportunity since 2004 to win the EPL

–  Lacklustre performances by their counterparts

–  Man City’s fallibility, Man United toiling heavily along, and Chelsea’s total disintegration

–  The International break to help with the injury pile-up, but doubt about mental fortitude

–  Winnable next five matches with the transfer window coming at the right time for world class players acquisition with the club in a healthy financial state.

This is Arsene Wenger’s  best  opportunity since the invincibles to win the Premier league this 2015-16 season and cap his two decades with the North London outfit with the Premier league trophy.

Arsenal’s Invincibles.

It was a fantastic chance since the club won the EPL since 2004, considering the lacklustre performances by their counterparts.

Man City’s fallibility due to missing the incisive threat of injury prone Sergio Aguero and the creativity of Silva, defensive instability and  the not so secret players fury with the manager and his style.

Another reason is Man United paddling along heavily, finding goals hard to come by and making heavy weather of winning matches.

Lack of goals from the usual talisman and now club and England captain Wayne Rooney, while the young and new acquisition, Martial is still finding his feet  in the most difficult and physically challenging league in world football, and with the loss of form of the promising Memphis Depay, who has delivered less than anticipated so far.

Chelsea’s total disintegration has also played to the hands of Arsenal, with Wenger having the last laugh on his old adversary Jose Mourinho.

This is a season to forget for Chelsea even at this early stage of the season. With simultaneous loss of form of several key players, the manager’s eratic and sometimes lamentable behaviors which has led to total lack of discipline in the club.

There’s no doubting the injury list pile-up in the Gunner’s rank, but they have the luxury of the international break to get a few players back to re-invigorate the team. Their precarious mental fortitude will now be put to the test, especially with a winnable next five fixtures, even as unpredictable as the EPL can be.

Notwithstanding, Arsenal possess one of the most dependable back four in the Premiership, second least conceived goals with nine, just behind Manchester United with eight goals conceded is a testament to that.

The blossoming partnership between the experienced Koscielny and the recently integrated Gabriele, coupled with the guile, speed and industrious abilities of the right back, Bellerin and the solid, hardworking , consistent but forward foraging of the full back, Nacho Monreal, who is enjoying a fruitful campaign.

And, to top it all off, who most consider the best signing of the season so far, Petr Cech, eliminating what has been the club’s Achilles heel in the past few seasons.

Coquelin has been a revelation in the middle of the park, and Ozil enjoying a new lease of life, justifying the huge layout by the club for him, not to talk of the tireless and tenacious Sanchez.

Another weapon in the Gunner’s armoury is the upcoming transfer window, and with the club’s healthy financial position, they can supplement an already potent squad with a couple of World Class additions for the final assault.
