Revealed: How Arsenal can still win the Premier League title despite loss to Man City

On Wednesday night, Arsenal were handed the biggest blow to their title hopes so far, as they went down 3-1 to rivals City at home.

It was the third game in-a-row that the Gunners dropped points, picking up just one from Everton, Brentford and City, and dropped them behind Pep Guardiola’s side.

Whilst it’s only on goal difference, and the north Londoners still have a game in hand, some are already calling for the death knell on their title hopes.

Fans started pointing out the words Gary Neville had said a month ago, when the Gunners were eight points clear at the top of the table, and said they wouldn’t go on to become champions for the first time since 2004.

However, Neville’s usual partner in crime Carragher thinks that there’s still one way that Mikel Arteta’s team could end up lifting the trophy in May.

Speaking to CBS, the former Liverpool star explained that City being in other competitions could help their rivals, “I think the big thing for Arsenal is not too panic,” Carragher said.

“The only way I’ve ever felt Arsenal could win the league is if Manchester City go deep in the Champions League and FA Cup. They will probably get to the semi-finas of both of those competitions at least.

Fixture congestion at the end of the season could be even worse during this campaign due to the break for the World Cup at the end of last year.

At this point last year, City had already played two more games than they have this year in the league, and, as Carragher points out, there’s still cup games to go.

Guardiola’s men have RB Leipzig in the last 16 of the Champions League, and they’ll be expected to get through that relatively easily.

The same can be said in the FA Cup, where they face Bristol City in the fifth round, the only thing that is surprising is the fact they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup final by Southampton.

City will be desperate to finally win in Europe, but concentrating on getting far in the Champions League has never previously stopped them winning the league.

Arsenal were 1-0 winners at Brentford as Aaron Ramsdale responded to being controversially dropped by Mikel Arteta.

Reiss Nelson’s eighth-minute goal separated the sides despite a Brentford onslaught after the break.

Arteta has preferred David Raya to Ramsdale in goal for the past three games.

But the England international was needed for the Gunners to progress as he produced a brilliant stop to deny Yoane Wissa an equaliser.

JUST IN: £40m Bayern Munich superstar have finally snub London rival to agree personal terms with Arsenal, medical to hold very soon as Arteta plan starting starting him next game

Arsenal are interested in signing Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard following a long-term injury for Jurrien Timber, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Gunners recently suffered a huge setback with Timber suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury and he could be sidelined for most of the current season.

As a result, the club are looking to fill the void with a new signing, and Gazzetta claim that they are interested in securing the services of Pavard from Bayern.

Inter Milan and Manchester United are also in the running to sign the World Cup winner, but the Gunners could have an advantage over the duo in the pursuit.

Bayern are prepared to sell the 27-year-old for €30 million plus €5m in add-ons. Inter are currently reluctant to pay more than €25m for the Frenchman.

United, on the other hand, are completely reliant on Harry Maguire’s departure to sign Pavard. Maguire recently turned down a move to West Ham United.

Pavard could make the switch to Arsenal
Pavard has less than 11 months remaining on his Bayern contract. He has made his intention clear to leave the club and has no plans of penning a renewal.

Bayern are likely to cash in on him before the transfer deadline or else they could lose him on a free transfer. He can sign a pre-contract from January onwards.

In our view, the Frenchman would be a quality acquisition for Arsenal to fill Timber’s void.

Last season, he completed 67 passes per game in Bundesliga with an accuracy of 90 per cent. He won 2.3 tackles and five duels per appearance with 2.5 clearances.

He would fit perfectly into the plans of manager Mikel Arteta. For €30m up front, he would represent a good piece of investment as he is in the prime of his career.

JUST IN: Arsenal have just renewed their interest to sign Kylian Mbappe on a Long term deal, first proposal sent this morning as Arteta wants to convince the player to join

The latest news from reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano suggests that Arsenal target Kylian Mbappe does not have a future at Paris Saint-Germain.

Reports have linked Arsenal with the French striker and other reports have also suggested that Real Madrid are also interested.

The 24 year-old talisman has a contract until the summer of 2024, and recent reports suggested that he was not keen to sign a new deal at PSG.

If this is true, then PSG would either have to risk losing him on a free transfer next season or they would have to sell him this summer. Romano’s latest update suggests that PSG have made their decision.

Arsenal target Mbappe now available this summer

The ‘phenomenal‘ player is no doubt one of the best forwards on the planet. The fact that is have now been put up for sale is huge news this summer.

Romano’s first update which broke last night said: “Understand PSG consider Mbappé FOR SALE.

Paris Saint-Germain feel Kylian Mbappé wants to leave for free in 2024 — he did not communicate anything yet despite Al Khelaifi’s public statement. PSG decided to EXCLUDE Kylian from Japan tournée.”

He then added more context to the situation as he said: “More on Mbappé. PSG feel betrayed as they’re certain Kylian has already agreed a free transfer with Real Madrid.

This despite Mbappé in interviews said he’d never leave PSG for free. Paris don’t want to be ‘paralysed’ by the demands of one player.”

This is a huge update and it will be really interesting to see how Mbappe reacts. He cannot be sidelined for a season and wait for a free transfer. This would ruin his growth.

It could be the perfect time for Arsenal to make a move, should they want to take their interest further this summer transfer window.

This may now be a lot harder as the club have already made multiple signings. This would have no doubt taken a large chunk out of their transfer budget. It may see Mbappe be unaffordable at this current time.

With him also excluded from the PSG pre-season tour, it looks like his club want this situation resolved as quickly as possible.
