Arsenal's Title Hopes: Chasing 90 Points for Premier League Glory

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes that his team will need to accumulate 90 points in the Premier League in order to have a chance at winning the title this season. The Gunners are aiming to end their 20-year wait for a league title and have shown improvement from last season's disappointing finish. Currently trailing both Liverpool and Manchester City, Arsenal can close the gap to two points if they defeat Sheffield United in their upcoming match. However, Arteta acknowledges the tough task ahead, stating that his team may need a flawless run until May. The 90-point mark has only been achieved once by Arsenal in the past, during the iconic 'Invincibles' campaign of 2003/04. To reach this milestone, the Gunners would need to secure 10 wins and two draws from their final 12 games, or 11 wins with very little room for error. In contrast, Liverpool and Manchester City have consistently accumulated high points totals in recent seasons. Arsenal's remaining fixtures include challenging matches against City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa. However, Arteta is focused on the upcoming test against Sheffield United, acknowledging their strength as a difficult team to beat. Arsenal's title hopes hinge on their ability to accumulate 90 points, a feat that will require exceptional performance and consistency.
