15 Ways Arsenal Can Finally Win the Premier League This Season
Arsenal fans across the globe have all been waiting for that sweet moment when the Premier League trophy finally returns to the Emirates. Since 2004, you have been hoping, praying, and sometimes bargaining with the football gods. Could 2024/2025 be the season Arsenal ends its long title drought? If Mikel Arteta and the squad follow these 15 steps, we might just see the unthinkable happen. So, sit back, relax, and take a slightly optimistic look at how Arsenal can finally lift the league trophy again!
Keep Everyone Fit, Especially Partey
Thomas Partey is a vital part of Arsenal’s midfield. It’s like trying to make a cup of tea without water—nothing works without him. Arteta might need to put him in a special bubble wrap suit to keep those hamstrings intact. If Partey stays fit, the midfield goes from good to “we can take on anyone.” You just have to hope his legs hold up better than the optimism on a rainy weekend.
Stop Playing “Passing Competition” at the Edge of the Box
Arsenal’s passing game is beautiful—until it isn’t. Sometimes, they look like they’re trying to break a world record for the most passes in the final third. But let’s be real: just shoot when you’re in the box. It’s not an art exhibition; it’s a football match. Remember, the goal is to score, not to make the defender feel like they’re part of a passing drill.
Make the Emirates a Fortress
The Emirates needs to be as intimidating as a 50-person queue at the bank on a Monday morning. Right now, teams don’t fear it; they come and leave with points as if they’re on a school field trip. But if Arsenal can turn their home ground into a fortress, it’ll be a completely different story. Imagine visiting teams trembling at the thought of stepping foot on that pitch. A little fear goes a long way in keeping those three points at home.
Recruit Top-Level Sports Psychologists for Extra Focus
We all know City has Pep’s genius, but Arsenal has something better—super mental strength. Arteta should have a sports psychologist on speed dial for those moments when Arsenal plays like some juju priest has blown white powder on them. Arsenal players need to stay cool, even when facing a team that’s won their last 15 matches. Mental toughness is the difference between finishing second and winning the title.
Give Declan Rice Full Control of the Midfield
Declan Rice has been solid, but it’s time for him to take charge like the midfield boss he was always meant to be. He’s got the tools and the strength to dominate the game—now he just needs to show it every week. Think of him as the ship’s captain and Arsenal’s fate is in his hands. If Rice can play every match like a cup final, Arsenal’s midfield will be impenetrable.
Teach Gabriel Jesus the Art of Ruthless Finishing
Gabriel Jesus is a wizard with the ball, but sometimes it feels like he’s trying to dribble it into the net, like a FIFA game. We love the flair, but there’s no time for a 10-step cultural dance when the goal is wide open. Sometimes, just tap it in! Arsenal needs a striker who finishes like he’s on a mission, not someone who’s still deciding if he wants to score or do a flip.
Win the “Small” Games
Arsenal has a habit of dropping points to the teams at the bottom of the table—those “easy” games that somehow turn into disasters. If they want to win the league, they must treat every game like a final. No more slipping up against teams that are fighting relegation. Play like your life depends on it, whether it’s against City or Luton.
Neutralize Pep Guardiola’s Tactics
Let’s face it—Manchester City is the final boss, and Pep Guardiola is the weapon fashioned against Arteta. His tactical brilliance is like watching a master chess player, but Arteta also knows the game inside out. It’s time for him to use Pep’s tactics against him—like a Jedi turning the Force on itself. If he can outsmart his old boss with a kiss of betrayal, City won’t know what hit them.
Avoid February Madness
Why does Arsenal always seem to collapse in February? It’s like they’ve entered some sort of football purgatory. Is it the pressure of Europe or just the dark days of winter? Arsenal needs to snap out of their mid-season slump. Arteta needs to give the squad a pep talk about staying focused—and maybe keep them away from Valentine’s Day distractions. A solid February could make or break the season, so pray the “February Curse” is finally broken.
Keep Zinchenko Focused
Zinchenko is a brilliant player, but sometimes, he plays like he needs a GPS to locate his position. Arteta must remind him: “Hey, there’s a reason you’re on defense.” Zinchenko’s attacking instincts are fantastic, but balance is key. If he can stay disciplined, he’ll become one of the most valuable players in the squad. A Zinchenko who stays calm and focused could be Arsenal’s secret weapon.
Strengthen the Bench
A strong starting lineup is great, but you can’t win a league with just 11 players. Arsenal’s bench has to be ready to come in and make a difference when the starting XI is out of steam. No more warming up and sitting down; you need players who can change the game when they step onto the pitch like Trossard. The title will be decided by who has the better squad depth—and right now, Arsenal’s bench needs to step it up.
Teach Arsenal Players How to Defend Corners
Defending corners is becoming a lost art at Arsenal. Watching them defend set pieces this season sometimes feels like watching a bunch of blindfolded people trying to find their way out of a maze. It’s time to get serious about defending at set pieces. Arsenal needs to work on marking, clearing the ball, and ensuring they’re not caught napping at the back. The next time there’s a corner, show some proper defending, not heart attacks, for the fans.
Manage Saka’s Workload
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s golden boy, but even diamonds need polishing and rest. Arteta can’t expect Saka to be everywhere at once. The poor guy needs a break occasionally or will burn out faster than an overused phone battery. Saka’s freshness is key to Arsenal’s success—the team follows suit when he’s firing on all cylinders. Arteta must rotate him carefully so Saka doesn’t become a shadow of himself during crunch time.
Handle Pressure Like a Pro
Pressure will come from fans, rivals, or that ticking clock in the final minutes of a match. Arsenal needs to handle it like seasoned pros. The best teams thrive under pressure—look at Liverpool, City, and even Chelsea in their glory days. Arsenal must play confidently, block out the noise, and focus on the job. Handling pressure is the true test of a title contender, and Arsenal must pass it with flying colors.
Believe in Themselves And Remind Fans to Believe Too!
Finally, belief is everything. Truth be told, Arsenal fans have to be the most loyal fans in the league, always believing that “this is our year.” The team also has to think they can win the league. It’s not enough to just hope for a miracle; Arsenal has to believe they’re capable of greatness. The title is within reach, but only if everyone, from players to fans, truly believes it. Go Goooooooneeerrrss!!!
