Arsenal ‘battle against Spurs and Liverpool’ for Juventus midfielder Rabiot
At the start of the season I sometimes doubted whether Arsenal could win the league due to the lack of goals.
Yes, they have started scoring goals, but if you have a problem with that, another solution to that is to be better defensively, and that is what they are.
I think when I look at Arsenal, I think they are the best team defensively, not just in this country, but in Europe at the moment.
If you look at the three teams in Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal you will see the jump [in xG goal difference] from Aston Villa, which is having a fantastic season. That shows the quality of the three teams competing for this title.
This is actually an indicator when you consider that Manchester City have been at the top in recent years, and the reason they have been at the top is because they are going to win the league because they are the best team defensively and going forward.
The fact that Arsenal are there now shows that they have a great chance of winning the title.
