In the previous campaign, the Gunners topped the table for a mouth-watering 248 days, which was the longest time on top without winning the title. It appears this season Arsenal are well on course to compete once again for the title after racing clear of surprise package Aston Villa, and Manchester City respectively.
Regarding the FA Cup, the Gunners hold the record for the most wins in this competition, having secured the trophy on 14 occasions previously. The last time they emerged victorious was in 2019-20 when they defeated Manchester City and Chelsea on their way to winning.
In the 2022-23 season, Arsenal were pipped to the post by Manchester City who finished five points clear of Mikel Arteta’s men on 89 point, so Arenal were just five points short of catching them.
Over the course of the 38-game season, Arsenal only scored five goals less than the Cityzens, but defensively the leaked 10 more goals than their title counterparts.
The 2023-24 season sees Arsenal compete in the Champions League for the first time since the 2016-17 season. They’ve come close to winning it in 2006 under Arsene Wenger, as they reached the final.
Arteta has the Gunners purring this season, being second in the Premier League as well as having some thumping results on their return to Europe’s biggest competition. The addition of Declan Rice may have bolstered their chances of European glory this year.
A combination that Arsenal have never completed, Mikel Arteta will surely fancy his side's chances of going deep in both competitions this time around. But can they sustain good form in both competitions?
The Gunners have looked strong in amongst Europe’s elite so far. Despite a shock 2-1 defeat to Lens in the group stages, Arsenal have taken maximum points and has made the Emirates a real fortress. Scoring 12 and conceding zero.
Another tricky game beckons for Arsenal, who face Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup. Should they navigate past Jurgen Klopp’s charges, they’ll surely have a strong chance of winning the competition this year.
Arsenal would love for nothing more than to become the third team in English football history to win the traditional treble of the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
Pep Guardiola guided Manchester City to the treble, much to the dismay of rivals Manchester United, who were the only team to have completed this in 1998-99.
Arsenal have managed to do domestic doubles on three separate occasions though, in 1970-71, 1997-98 and 2001-02. They’ll look to go one better and engrave themselves in the English football history books once more.
In recent seasons, silverware has remained evasive for the Gunners despite some glittering displays. Their most recent trophy that wasn’t the community shield was the FA Cup in 2019-20.
It would appear that Arteta’s side have evolved and grown as a team as they look to compete on three fronts for a trophy this season. Even though Liverpool are pushing them hard in the league, surely Arsenal’s experience last season will spur them on not to make the same mistakes again.
With the North London side being the most successful team in FA Cup history, they’ll fancy their chances if they can beat the second-best team in England currently.
Recent history would suggest that Arsenal could have a stellar campaign without winning any silverware this campaign, but I’m sure the Gunners faithful would be left disappointed if that was the case.
Upon returning to the Champions League, they’ve put in some convincing displays so far, but will winning the competition be a step too far?
Arsenal’s biggest hurdle in the FA Cup is to beat third-round opposition Liverpool, but who knows how seriously each team will be considering they’re currently both flying at the upper end of the Premier League.
Arsenal haven’t managed to win a double trophy haul in a season since 2001-02 under Arsene Wenger’s reign at the club, a side which went on to become the Invincibles a few seasons later.
With that being said, they’ve strengthened the side across the pitch to cope with the schedules and potentially going deeper into competitions.
Will Arsenal be able to win at least the domestic double? Well, they certainly have an uphill task but the beginning of the season has laid solid foundations for them to kick on at the business end of the campaign.
On Monday night (25/11/24), Newcastle face off against West Ham in the Premier League as they look to kick on in their quest for European football. Below, we've put together a few ...
