Paul Merson believes Arsenal Premier League title chances are effectively dashed following their 2-0 home defeat against Aston Villa. Despite Arsenal opportunity to reclaim the top spot, their loss has now put Manchester City in the lead by two points. Merson criticized Mikel Arteta team selection, particularly his decision to make changes from their previous successful lineup. However, Arteta remains optimistic about Arsenal prospects but acknowledges the need for a strong response, starting with their upcoming Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.
Arteta highlighted Arsenal missed opportunities and lack of composure in the second half which led to Villa late goals. Sky Sports’ Gary Neville also emphasized the significance of the defeat in the title race and the pressure on Arteta to keep Arsenal momentum going. Arsenal faces Bayern Munich in the Champions League before their next Premier League fixture against Bournemouth. Aston Villa on the other hand continues their Europa Conference League campaign against Lille.
