There could be comparisons drawn with the Chelsea side that won the title in 2005 to the current Arsenal team.<\/p>\n
Jose Mourinho had a great defence that season with John Terry, Riccardo Carvalho, WIlliam Gallas and Paulo Ferreira playing the majority of games in a backline that only conceded 15 goals throughout the Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n
The Gunners have conceded 14 goals in 21 league games – fewer than any other side – and that’s having to contend with injuries to key defenders Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori this season.<\/p>\n
Although his performances have been disappointing, Arsenal have still only lost once when Gyokeres has started a match.<\/p>\n
Manchester City, when they won the title in the 2020-21, also had their goals spread with Gundogan scoring 13 goals, Sterling 10 and Phil Foden, Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez all scoring nine times that season.<\/p>\n
With 17 league games left, Trossard and Gyokeres would have to score at a ratio of around a goal every two games to reach 13 goals, which seems unlikely given their current scoring rate.<\/p>\n
The Gunners have consistently looked like the best all-round team this season with opposition managers saying that they do not have a weakness.<\/p>\n
Arsenal are also the league’s best side from set-pieces and have scored 17 goals from corners in all competitions this season – the most by any Premier League team, which gives them an added threat and takes away the dependency on having one top level goal scorer.<\/p>\n
After three successive second-placed finishes and a six-point gap at the top of the league, even without a goal scorer, the Gunners are ready to take the next step and become winners.<\/p>\n
