For the 2023-2024 Premier League title, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta will rotate players. He doesn’t want what happened last season to happen to the Gunners – Arsenal’s nickname – again in the 2023-2024 Premier League.
For your information, Arsenal, who sits at the top of the 2022-2023 Premier League standings, was up to seven points ahead of Manchester City in second place. However, because they only used the same players, Arsenal’s performance decreased, until they were finally overtaken by Manchester City.
This is a condition that Arsenal does not want to repeat this season. Now, Arsenal is in third place in the 2023-2024 Premier League standings with 61 points. Mikel Arteta’s troops are only two points away from the current standings leaders, Liverpool, who have collected 63 points.
In second place, there is Manchester City, which is one point different from Liverpool. Interestingly, the two teams will face each other in Week 28 of the 2023-2024 Premier League at Anfield, Liverpool, England on Sunday 10 March 2024.
Arsenal itself will meet Brentford in the same week. The Gunners can certainly use this momentum to continue to stick to or acquire the top of the standings.
“We believe today was the best choice, at least to start the match. “We have a long period after playing Newcastle, nine days, we have time,” said Mikel Arteta, quoting from Arsenal’s official website, Tuesday (5/3/2024).
Mikel Arteta indicated that he is ready to rotate his squad if necessary in order to chase the Premier League title. Names such as Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Jurrien Timber and Oleksandr Zinchenko may be played again by the Spanish coach.
“Now it will be very different in the next three days, we have another match, and then Porto (Champions League) so we have to manage everyone’s minutes,” concluded the former assistant to Josep Guardiola at Manchester City.
