Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes are hanging by a thread following a frustrating 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace — a result that leaves Liverpool needing just a point to secure the crown.
While the Gunners still have a Champions League semi-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain to look forward to, their domestic campaign has faltered. Sitting 12 points off the top, questions are mounting over what’s gone wrong in the league.
Is it down to a growing injury crisis? Arsenal have had to manage without several key players throughout the season and are currently missing the likes of Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, Jorginho, Ben White, Mikel Merino, and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Or was it the failure to reinforce the squad in January? Despite clear problems in attack, the club opted not to make any major signings during the winter window.
Could it be that Arsenal have hit a ceiling under Mikel Arteta? Some fans feel the club’s summer transfer business left the squad unbalanced and underprepared for a title push.
Or is there a deeper issue at play — perhaps a mental block when the pressure is on?
