- Paul Merson insisted that Arsenal's hopes of a trophy could reach a game
- The gunners are currently six points from Liverpool, which have a game in hand
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Does Premier League really need to look at goal celebrations?
Paul Merson has offered a frank evaluation of Arsenal's possibilities to ensure coverage this season.
After taking Manchester City to the last day last year, the Gunners entered the current campaign among the favorites to raise the title of the Premier League.
However, despite a strong beginning, the gunners have constantly found themselves trying to maintain the rhythm of the leaders of the Liverpool League.
The Arne Slot team has suffered only a defeat of the Premier League throughout the season, and remains in dispute in the four competitions, after having reserved its place in the EFL Cup final with a 4-0 Spurs beating Thursday.
Meanwhile, Arsenal was eliminated from competition after being defeated 2-0 by Newcastle in the semifinal stage.
Speaking after the result, Merson questioned whether Mikel Arteta's team can add to its trophy cabinet this season.
Paul Merson insisted that Arsenal could support another campaign without trophies this season
The gunners were eliminated from the EFL Cup on Wednesday after Newcastle's defeat
But the gunners' legend insisted that they expect fans not to call Mikel Arteta to be fired
“They have two (trophies to win), one of which they could leave on Wednesday night in my opinion,” said Merson in Sky Sports.
'If Liverpool wins in Everton, that will be nine clear points with 15 remaining odd games. They would have to lose four of them, which I think would be impossible. For me, it is reduced to Wednesday.
“I made them half a fusion in the Champions League, but I have seen them be destroyed by Newcastle on two legs and, without disrespect, there are many better teams that Newcastle in the knockout phase of the Champions League, so for me They are just against him.
'Everything depends on how many points are defeated in the end if they do not win the league. If they come in second place, it will stay, I hope people do not think: “Oh, let's change the manager.”
“But I had to be there, ready to jump when Man City left and did not and Liverpool.”
Arsenal returns to action on Saturday when they travel to King Power Stadium to face Leicester.
After finishing third in the renewed format of the Champions League, the Gunners will face a team not sown in the 16 round next month.
