Those pressure-cooker moments are arriving as Arsenal bid to overcome the wrongs of last season and win the Premier League title.
If Mikel Arteta is to guide the team to glory, then two players within his squad need to remain fit from now until May.
William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes have built an outstanding partnership at the back for Arsenal and they currently have the best defence in the Premier League.
Tim Sherwood highlighted the importance of the duo in the title race and how they are just ‘cruising through games’, as he told PL Productions (26/02/24 at 2:35 pm).
It shouldn’t be a surprise really because, since returning from the winter break, Mikel Arteta has watched his team score a staggering 18 goals in the Premier League.
All that striker talk has gone out of the window, with the likes of West Ham United, Burnley and Newcastle United being well and truly dispatched by the title-chasers in recent weeks.
This time last season, William Saliba suffered a season-ending injury and it crushed Arsenal’s title chances because they collapsed.
That was touched upon by Tim Sherwood when discussing Arsenal’s ice-cool duo at the back.
William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes
“Keeping the two centre-backs fit,” said Sherwood about Saliba and Gabriel being crucial in the title race. “Last year, they lost Saliba and it was a big blow for them.
“But they are cruising through games, at the moment.”
Premier League title battle
Only two points separate the top three as the Premier League title race is set to go to the final few weeks of the season.
If it does go to the final day, like it did two years ago, then there could be every chance that goal difference comes into the picture.
And, as of this moment, given the volume of goals Arsenal are scoring, they are leading that chart, including the fact that they have the best defence in the land.
All of these signs are positive for the Gunners, but everyone knows it just takes one result going against you and the whole mood around the club changes.
