Arsenal has had a rather disappointing season so far. The team that is considered to be a solid member of the Premier League’s top 6 is occupying the 11th spot. There were flashes of brilliance, especially from forward, Aubameyang, who is 2nd among the top scorers in the league but it was not enough to curb a long list of defeats. Arsenal’s last game against a top 6 team ended poorly with the North London club losing 3-0 to Man City. Things might change with Mikel Arteta calling the shots as manager now but the recent draw against Bournemouth left a lot to be desired.
Chelsea had a rocky start to the season with a 4-0 loss against Manchester City but they picked themselves up and eventually went all the way to the top 4. Despite a 2-0 loss against Southampton recently, the London club is still in the top 4. Tammy Abraham has racked up 11 goals so far, only 1 shy of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. Players like Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic are showing that Chelsea has an abundance of great young talent.
