by After a mini vacation in Dubai, where Arsenal has prepared a fund to start the second part of the season well, Arteta’s men return to London to play the day 21 of the Premier league. Saturday They will face Crystal Palace at the Emirates (13:30 CET), added to a crisis of results.
The winter break has come at an ideal time for Arsenal, as Of the last seven games they have only managed to win one. Liverpool, in the last match before the holidays, eliminated them from the English Cup in the third round, and in the league they have lost three of their last five games, a fact that has moved them away from the lead. They are fourth with 40 points, five behind Klopp.
The lack of aim and consistency may be behind these poor results. The ‘Gunners’ have scored 37 goals in the Premier, while their rivals have more than 43. Arteta has two ‘9’ in his squad although neither is a typical center forward, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazilian’s problem lies in injuries, in fact this season he has already missed eight games due to his physical problems, but despite this and the rumors that pointed to a possible signing in the winter market, Arteta has confirmed that there will be no new additions up front.
“We are not going to sign… What we have to do is try to get better results with the players we have“, commented the Basque coach in the press conference prior to the match against Crystal Palace. The ‘Águilas’ also come to this match needing a victory, in the middle of the fight to get away from relegation.
