"The Gunners continued their brilliant form this season by beating Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka were on the scoresheet for Mikel Arteta's side. The win became more important for the Gunners because Chelsea lost against Leeds United at Elland Road, increasing Arsenal's lead over the Blues in the Premier League title race. Manchester City, after their dramatic 5-4 win against Fulham, closed the gap to two points over Arsenal."
"However, a win against Brentford extended Arsenal's lead back to five points once again, prompting Keane to claim that the title race is over' already. While talking to Arsenal legend Ian Wright on The Overlap, Keane said: Your lot have got to win it. You've got to win the league this season.' The league is over. It's over. The league is over.'"
"Not only do the Gunners have the depth in the squad but they have quality to perform when it matters the most. If Viktor Gyokeres is unavailable, Merino contributes with goals. If William Saliba and Gabriel get injured, they have Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera to take care of the defensive duties. As it stands, only City can challenge them for the league but their weakness in defense might harm their chances of winning the league this season."
Arsenal beat Brentford at the Emirates with Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka on the scoresheet. The victory extended Arsenal's lead after Chelsea lost to Leeds, while Manchester City's 5-4 win at Fulham briefly closed the gap. Roy Keane declared the title race over and named Arsenal favourites, urging the team to win the league. Arsenal possess squad depth and quality across positions, with Merino providing goals when needed and Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera ready to cover defensive absences. Only Manchester City remain a realistic challenger, though defensive weaknesses could undermine their title bid.
