Sixteen rounds of league games have been played, and Arsenal is at the top of the standings with 48 points with a winning record, and has left Liverpool far behind second-place Liverpool, who only has 33 points!

In other words, Arsenal are already 15 points ahead of second place! This is probably the first time in Arsenal's history that the first half of the league has ended with such a huge advantage.

The situation of the League Cup is also very good, after winning the black cat Sunderland, it has successfully entered the semi-finals of the League Cup, although the opponent is the Red Devils Manchester United, but everyone knows that Manchester United in the post-Ferguson era, under the leadership of Moyes, the state has been up and down, and the strength has been greatly reduced, so far, Manchester United's league points are only 25 points, ranking eighth in the league!

Such a Manchester United is no longer a threat to the rising Arsenal! And for Manchester United now, actively competing for qualification for the European Champions League is the most important thing they should be concerned about, if the main focus is on the League Cup, then it is very likely to lose the qualification for next season's European Champions Cup! This is absolutely not allowed for the Red Devils Manchester United!

Therefore, Manchester United are likely to forgo the Carabao Cup and focus on playing well in the league in a bid to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League.

This is a very good situation for Arsenal, a Red Devil with a reduced strength, coupled with the dare to give it their all, the possibility of Arsenal successfully passing the semi-finals of the League Cup has greatly increased.

As for the European Cup, Arsenal have already won the group and will next move on to the knockout stages.

Traditionally, the team that wins the group usually meets the team that finishes the group, so Arsenal's next opponents will be Bayer Leverkusen, Galatasaray, Olympiacos, Manchester City, Schalke 04, Zenit St Petersburg and AC Milan.

Since it is second in the group, whether it is due to the strength of the team or luck, in general, the probability of Arsenal winning will be higher, so that Arsenal's chances of qualifying from the round of 16 will also be greatly increased!

So, whether it's the league, the League Cup and the European Champions Cup, Arsenal's situation is very good.

Arsenal's current situation has naturally attracted the attention of the media, whether it is the media in England, the media in other European countries have made a special analysis of Arsenal's current situation and state.

"Three lines go hand in hand, Arsenal is aiming for a treble? 》

At this time, the report of "Sky Sports" wrote: Since the beginning of this season, Arsenal has achieved a jaw-dropping record, whether it is the European Champions Cup, the league or the League Cup, Arsenal has shown a strong desire for the trophy.

At the same time, Arsenal's third-tier record is also particularly impressive, ranking first in the league, Yaoyao leading, reaching the semi-finals of the League Cup, and winning the first place in the group in the European Champions Cup!

There are signs that Arsenal are set to rise strongly this season, and all we have to guess about is how many trophies Arsenal will win this season!

A double winner? The Triple Crown? Or is it a quadruple crown that is unique in history?

"Arsenal rises strongly, aiming for the treble! 》

At this time, an article in the "Sun" newspaper wrote: Since the beginning of this season, Arsenal has won 16 rounds of league games, and now it has accumulated 48 points with a complete winning record, standing proudly on the top of the league.

What's even more terrifying is that he is 15 points ahead of the second place in the league! This is unique in the history of the Premier League!

For this alone, we can judge that Arsenal will definitely rise strongly this season!

Moreover, Arsenal's record on other fronts is also very objective, the League Cup successfully reached the semi-finals, and the European Champions Cup won the group! These results show that Arsenal's goal this season is definitely not just a league title, his goal is likely to be a double, or even a treble!

The shot was near the edge of the penalty area, and it was fast, so the ball went into the net!
