Arsenal emerge as a champion candidate Premier League this season, compete with Manchester City. World Cup 2022 evaluated will give The gunners profit.
Arsenal have been strong this season, going through their first 13 weeks of the Premier League with 11 wins, one draw and one loss. The North London club have 34 points, two ahead of defending champions Manchester City.
Judging from the trip so far, the 2022/2023 season could be very special for the “London Cannon”. They have not won the Premier League since 2003/2004, in fact since 2016/2017 they have always finished out of the top four.
Consistency will be key, but at least Arsenal is believed to have one thing that will be advantageous over Manchester City. What is that? World Cup break 2022.
The 2022 World Cup as it is known will be held in Qatar in the middle of this season, precisely from 20 November to 18 December 2022. Arsenal should lose only a few players while Manchester City will release most of their team members.
To date, only three Arsenal players have been called up for the national team, namely Gabriel Jesus (Brazil), Gabriel Martinelli (Brazil) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (Japan). Other names that might be called are Bukayo Saka (England), Thomas Partey (Ghana) and Granit Xhaka (Switzerland).
By comparison, Manchester City are expected to lose most of their players like in the 2018 World Cup. Four years ago, they became the club that released the most players in Russia with 16 players.
The fact that the 2022 World Cup will be held in warm Qatar, as England players return to England while the winter is still underway, should have other implications as well.
“I think the World Cup can help Arsenal because they have fewer international players participating in the World Cup,” said former Arsenal defender William Gallas. Metro.
So it will be very interesting when you play at the World Cup, because in the middle of the season you have to play in Qatar which will be very hot, but after the World Cup you will be back in England and there will be a big difference in terms of preparation and it will be tough. “
“So that’s why I think Arsenal have a good chance, because they have fewer players going to the World Cup. So they have to take this opportunity,” added the man who had played for Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
