This belief has grown as rivals have also struggled for consistency, creating what many see as a strong opportunity for Arsenal to end two decades of waiting and secure the title.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"1229\">This season has been challenging for the team, but the league\u2019s wider context suggests conditions may finally be favourable for them to deliver success. However, there are still difficult fixtures ahead, and it cannot be guaranteed that Arsenal will win all their remaining matches before the end of the term.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1p5gxjh\" data-start=\"1231\" data-end=\"1275\">Carragher\u2019s View on Arsenal\u2019s Opportunity<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1425\">Jamie Carragher believes this is a crucial moment for Arsenal and that failure to win the league could have long-lasting consequences for the club.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1427\" data-end=\"1459\">He said via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football.london\/arsenal-fc\/news\/arsenal-premier-league-title-carragher-33745862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Football London<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1629\">\u201cThey\u2019re in a position now, where I think, if Arsenal don\u2019t win the league this season, especially the Premier League, this will be remembered for an awfully long time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1733\">\u201cIt\u2019s not just coming second to (Man) City three years ago or two years ago when people expected that.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1735\" data-end=\"1920\">\u201cArsenal have got the best squad, I think they\u2019ve got the best team.

If they fail to do so, it may be viewed as a missed chance that is difficult to forget, especially given the level of expectation surrounding the squad and their performances this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal are very close to winning the title at the end of this season, and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1935,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
