I don't see Arsenal winning this league this season again because they have now let Manchester city get too close to them so they can't afford any mistakes now else they will lose the top spot to Man City again. Despite Arsenal form I haven't really seen them as a title winning team yet. Being a top of the league I expect them to have at a least a player competing for the highest goal scorer. I am surprised Arsenal top scorers are still at 4 or 5 goals by this time.

Victor Gyokeres was supposed to be the next big superstar of the Premier League, but his performance is in the "not bad, not good" category.
He scored six goals in his 18 appearances across all competitions. This isn't bad, but it's not great either. Haaland keeps scoring lots of goals for Manchester City and he definitely outperforms Gyokeres. Having the best goal scorer in the League isn't enough for becoming champion.
Maybe Arteta wants most of this players to score goals instead of relying on one goal scorer. Arsenal has a problem with receiving late goals, their match with Wolves was yet another proof for their unstable defensive play.
