Arsenal, who are unbeaten in the league in 2024, what changed them?

Arsenal are unbeaten in the 2024 Premier League. 

Except for Liverpool, a strong favorite to spend the final season with Klopp, it was clear that the teams they faced were not very difficult opponents. 

However, there are two things to note. The strong team's conditions, many points, and few points were recorded during the period. 

Arsenal have scored 33 runs and four runs in the eight games they have played this year, creating a ridiculous level of record.

He also scored the first goal in all games, showing the side of a strong team.

If we were to shift our observations to all non-league games, a bad start to 2024. It had a tough end of the year, with the league's upsets (the strong losing to the weak) to West Ham and Fulham, and a bad start to the first game of the new year, losing to Liverpool at Klopp on the League Cup

He also lost in the Champions League round of 16 away to Porto, but eventually, the team made it to the quarterfinals after a penalty shootout. 

There is nothing much to say about Arsenal's success story. 

It has transformed into a typical tough team. To say that the defeat to Liverpool was too much of a motivation, Arsenal showed too much change. 


I think the secret to Arsenal's success is injury.

Arsenal has the lowest number of injuries in the league among the teams that share the championship race and by all accounts.

Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are the closest teams to winning the championship race this season. 

However, the image pursued by each team, the transfer policy, and the atmosphere within the team are different now.


City have consistently wanted a small squad since Pep's departure. It has been Pep's pursuit of a squad with fewer but better players than a thicker squad, but this season, the injury of the world's top striker Erling Holland, and his diminished scoring ability have made it difficult for them. 


In the case of Liverpool, there was a lot of talk on and off the field. 

The biggest issue is the rise of Alisson. 

At this point, Alisson, who is mentioned as the best goalkeeper in the world, has been virtually confirmed out of the season due to injury.

Liverpool also suffered from many injuries for several seasons and this year. 

Ten of the first-team players are suffering from injuries, including Mohamed Salah, who scored the most offensive points. 

Between these competing teams, Arsenal is going through the season without any major injuries. 


This tells us why Arsenal is in form at this point, as it is the most important factor in the league, which is a long-term race. 

However, there are two reasons why everyone should pay attention to the race.


The first is one point between the three teams, and Arsenal and Manchester City will play each other in their final real-world match of the season to win the next match. 


The second is déjà vu.

Arsenal already had the experience of giving Manchester City a win in a similar situation last season. 

As such, it will be now when the next game feels important.


This is a season that means a lot in the long run for Arsenal. 

Since Arteta's appointment, he has failed to advance to the European tournament, and there have been many stories about his replacement, 

Last season Arteta achieved a Champions League quarter-final that had not been achieved in 14 years since Arsenal's legendary manager Arsen Wenger, as if to hear from the opponents that last year's glory was just luck.

It is important to note that this may be the beginning of the long-term rule of Arteta from Arsenal after Wenger, that they can have the full support of their supporters, and whether they will be able to recreate what Arsenal showed during Wenger's time.
