Arne Slot’s Concerns Grow as Arsenal Gains Edge Over Liverpool in Title Race

London: Arsenal has been on a bit of a rollercoaster lately. After a tough week, they bounced back in the north London derby against Tottenham. Liverpool’s lead in the Premier League has shrunk to just four points, which has got everyone talking.

Liverpool dropped points against Nottingham Forest, giving Arsenal a chance to close the gap. Things looked shaky when Son Heung-min scored first, but Arsenal turned it around with an own goal from Dominic Solanke and a strike from Leandro Trossard.

Now, Arsenal is just four points behind Liverpool, but the Reds still have a game in hand. That could be a double-edged sword for them. Both teams are likely to make it to the Champions League’s last-16, which means they’ll have some free time in February.

However, Liverpool’s schedule is getting crowded. They lost one of those free midweeks due to a rescheduled Merseyside derby. That means they’ll be busy with games, while Arsenal gets a nice break.

With injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal might actually welcome the downtime. Liverpool, on the other hand, needs to find its rhythm again. Arne Slot has a lot on his plate, and he’ll need to manage his squad carefully to fend off Arsenal’s challenge.
