“I look at Arsenal’s fixtures, and their home games are London derbies. Chelsea, West Ham, and Fulham will definitely want to spoil Arsenal’s season. They won’t want Arsenal to win the league,” Sherwood told Premier League Productions.
Liverpool, on the other hand, remain strong with four of their next six matches at Anfield, a ground known for its fortress-like dominance.
The Gunners’ next challenge comes against West Ham at the Emirates, a must-win game if they hope to stay in the title race.
With past seasons ending in second place behind Manchester City, Arsenal must prove they have the resilience to go all the way this time.
Can Arteta’s men rise above their London rivals and keep the pressure on Liverpool?
