Arsenal’s Brutal Fixture Run-In After Three Successive Draws

• Arsenal's title hopes appear to be fading after three successive draws
• The Gunners dropped points against Liverpool and West Ham and fought for one point against Southampton
• They face a run of four difficult fixtures starting with title challengers Manchester City

Arsenal will have to do more than the ordinary in their next four games if they want to win the 2022/23 Premier League title next month.

The Gunners have slipped up recently, having picked up just three points in their last three games - three successive draws against Liverpool, West Ham, and relegation-threatened Southampton.

Mikel Arteta's men surrendered two-goal leads against the Reds and the Hammer, despite racing into the lead within 30 minutes and 10 minutes, respectively.

It was a different tale with the same result against the bottom-placed Saints. They wrestled back from 3-1 down to secure a 3-3 draw, with goals from captain Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka rescuing the points at Emirates, as reported by Athletic UK.

Brighton (H)

Brighton, under Italian manager Roberto De Zerbi, have been a different side. They are dominant in possession, create a lot of chances, and fire many shots at the opponent's goal. This would be another tough test for Arsenal.
