The goals are raining in for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta bids to secure the Premier League title.
That was proven during Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Newcastle United over the weekend, with three different scores, including the Sven Botman own goal.
Tim Sherwood thinks no-one in the Premier League is currently playing better than Arsenal, as he highlighted the return in form of Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard.
The former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss thinks Gabriel Martinelli is ‘back to his best’, whilst the club’s skipper, after ‘a little lull’, has also started to ‘really pick up his performances’, as he told Premier League Productions (26/02/24 at 2:35 pm).
Martin Odegaard didn’t score or assist in the last game, but he has provided three assists and scored once from his last three Premier League games.
Whilst it was Gabriel Martinelli’s determination that saw him provide a brilliant assist for Kai Havertz’s goal against Newcastle.
These are all very good signs for Arsenal because they are a team who don’t rely upon an individual for goals, but for the team to be in full flow.
Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli form
“I don’t think anyone in the Premier League is playing as well as Arsenal, at the moment,” said Sherwood. “They are rolling people over and sharing the goals around the team.
“Martinelli is back to his best. Odegaard had a little lull period and it looks like he is really picking up performances. Saka has been unbelievable. Jorginho has come into the side, he’s pushed Declan Rice on and he looked really better in the number eight position. But he has been outstanding.
“Gabriel and Saliba have given them that solid base. It’s all going well for them, at the moment.”
Arsenal’s trip to Sheffield United
Arteta has watched his team score for fun since returning from the winter break and they might just enjoy themselves against Sheffield United.
No team in Premier League history has conceded more goals (66) at this stage of the season and you fear what will happen to the bottom-of-the-table side on Monday night.
Arsenal have been boosting their goal difference in big ways in recent weeks, as of this moment, they are still ahead of their title rivals.
And you feel this is their opportunity to steamroll ahead and put more than a few goals past the Blades because, if they don’t score at least four, then they will probably be disappointed.
