Arsenal put in a below-par performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, falling to a 2-1 home defeat. Just a few hours earlier, fellow Londoners Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur battled out a drab 0-0 draw. All three London sides produced uninspiring performances.
However, Tottenham are top of the league, and Chelsea are in the Champions League spots. Arsenal, on the other hand, are 14th.
It’s been far from an ideal start to the new season for Mikel Arteta’s men. Ten games in, and they have amassed just 13 points. Frankly, if the current bottom four weren’t looking so poor and if the team wasn’t filled with such good players, that is relegation candidate form.
