The capital’s giants finished in second place in previous years. But now they are at their peak. And not just domestically—Arsenal began the Champions League campaign with only victories, including against Bayern. They even thrashed Club Brugge 3-0. Domestically, their slip-ups can be counted on one hand. However, after only drawing with Chelsea while having a numerical advantage and losing to Aston Villa, they have nearly lost their lead.
Last season, the visitors were saved by Vítor Pereira, who arrived in winter and managed to lift the team from rock bottom to 16th place with 42 points. But then results started to falter for him as well. In November, the Portuguese coach was replaced by Keith Andrews, but the defeats continued. On Monday, they even suffered a 1-4 loss to Manchester United.
