Arteta doubtless had the second in thoughts when he referred to the “small margins” of the Premier League after the sport.

The upheaval at full-back has been detrimental offensively too.

In opposition to Fulham, for instance, with a proper footer at left-back and a pure central midfielder at right-back, Arsenal have been by no means prone to carry their normal risk out vast and so it proved.

Bukayo Saka was comparatively quiet nevertheless it was largely right down to an absence of assist, with Second Spectrum monitoring knowledge exhibiting Partey solely made one overlapping run all recreation. It was the identical on the opposite facet, the place Timber solely supplied his winger one overlapping run.

It did not matter in opposition to Ruben Amorim’s facet, with Arsenal in a position to rating twice from corners with out reply. Arteta would additionally argue that the 2 elements are linked given the corners and free-kicks required for set-piece possibilities come up from open-play dominance.

The priority is that with Liverpool and Chelsea accumulating factors at their present charges, any additional slip-ups within the meantime will depart them with an excessive amount of floor to make up.

No let-up in schedule

An easing of Arsenal’s damage issues isn’t assured both. In truth, their schedule heightens the danger of additional setbacks, with the Gunners about to embark on a run of 4 video games in 11 days, beginning with Wednesday’s Champions League conflict in opposition to Monaco.

An inevitable knock-on impact of accidents is that others are required to play extra minutes than deliberate. Timber, for instance, has began 10 consecutive video games and the dearth of accessible alternate options means his run is prone to proceed. It’s a heavy workload for a participant who solely returned from a critical knee damage in the summertime.

Rotation will likely be required, the place attainable, as Arsenal juggle their Champions League and Premier League commitments, plus a Carabao Cup quarter-final in opposition to Crystal Palace subsequent week. However the want for silverware is such that no competitors may be taken frivolously.

If there’s one constructive, it’s that their upcoming fixture checklist appears kinder, by way of opponents if not in quantity of video games, than within the opening months of the marketing campaign. Arsenal received quite a lot of their hardest video games out of the way in which throughout that interval.

They don’t face any of the present high six of their subsequent 5 Premier League video games. Their January journeys to Brentford and Brighton is not going to be straightforward however their subsequent away recreation in opposition to a top-six facet isn’t till they go to fifth-placed Nottingham Forest on February 25.
