Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is keeping a watchful eye on Manchester United's progress under Ruben Amorim. Despite a shaky start to the season, Arteta believes that United has the potential to surprise everyone and make a run for the Premier League title, as long as they can find their rhythm and win consistently.
As of now, Liverpool is dominating the league with a comfortable lead, nine points ahead of second-place Arsenal. However, defending champions Manchester City are struggling in fifth place after a string of disappointing performances. This makes the upcoming match between Arsenal and United even more crucial as Amorim's team has shown signs of improvement lately, especially with their impressive 4-0 win against Everton.
United is currently just four points behind the top four, and Arteta believes that they can still achieve anything this season. When asked about the possibility of a title charge for United, Arteta stated that it is still too early to tell, but any team that can win five or six games in a row has a chance to compete at the top. The Premier League is known for its tough competition, and every week, we see teams struggling to maintain a winning streak.
However, closing a 15-point gap with Liverpool may seem like a daunting task for United, especially with City also falling behind in the race, now 11 points behind Arne Slot's team after their recent loss to Liverpool. But Arteta is not ruling out City just yet, as he knows they have the ability to turn things around and start winning again.
Chelsea is also a major contender in the title race, currently sitting in third place after their impressive 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. They are level on points with Arsenal, making the race even more intense. As Arsenal and United prepare for their match at the Emirates, Chelsea will face Southampton, while Liverpool will travel to Newcastle. Manchester City will also be in action, hosting Nottingham Forest.
In the end, it is still too early to make any predictions, and Arteta knows that anything can happen in the Premier League. With the competition being so tough, every team has the opportunity to make a comeback and fight for the title. As for United, Arteta believes that they have the potential to do just that, and he will be keeping a close eye on their progress under Amorim.
