Arsenal have been told that Sunday’s Premier League clash away at Chelsea is a must-win game if they are to keep the pace in the title race. With the gap between Arsenal and leaders Liverpool currently at seven points, every match becomes crucial for the Gunners’ title aspirations.
The match at Stamford Bridge promises to be a high-intensity encounter, with both teams eager to secure a vital victory. Arsenal’s recent form has been inconsistent, with losses to Newcastle United and Inter Milan, making this game even more significant.
According to legendary broadcaster Jeff Stelling, speaking as part of his predictions for talkSPORT, Aresenal are now at a point where they cannot afford to drop any more points in the title race.
“Now, are Arsenal already at the must-win stage of the season if they are going to be involved in the title race? I think the answer to that is probably yes,” the former Sky Sports presenter said.
“They’ve just lacked any sort of spark in their last couple of away games. Not only losing both, but not scored a goal. They’ve only managed two shots on target in that time – simply not good enough, my word, how they have missed Martin Odegaard.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be looking to inspire his team to deliver a strong performance and close the gap on Liverpool. The return of influential players like Martin Odegaard and William Saliba will be key to Arsenal’s chances.
With the title race heating up, this match could be a defining moment for Arsenal’s season. Arsenal fans will be hoping that their team can rise to the occasion and secure a crucial win against their fierce rivals.
