The international break is coming to an end which means Arsenal are back in action and they have the opportunity to climb the Premier League table after a dreadful start which sees them without a win in three games.
Our fan brand writers and presenters; Tom Canton, Bailey Keogh, Chris Davison and Hush Kerai appeared on The Arsenal Way show and debated the results of Arsenal’s next six games.
The Panel all agreed on a win against Norwich.
Chris Davison: “ It is really a relegation battle isn’t it, some were saying. Both of us are rock bottom of the league but I expect us to have enough quality to get the job done.
Hush Kerai: “If there’s one game in the Premier League calendar you can put a win next to – it would be Norwich at home.”
Despite a unanimous decision against Norwich the same cannot be said for the away trip to Burnley the week after as Hush Kerai feels a loss could be on the horizon.
Hush Kerai: “We are a working progress at the moment and this will not be done in time for the game at Turf Moor. We've seen how we've come away without a result from Burnley even when we have played well.
”If we continue the level of form we've seen so far this season, we'll get turned over."
The Gunners host Tottenham in the first North London derby of the season and there are mixed reviews as Chris, Hush and Tom all predict defeats, Whilst Bailey is slightly more confident for the Gunners in their first derby meeting with Nuno Espirito Santo in charge.
Bailey Keogh: “It’s at Emirates stadium, if it was at Tottenham’s ground then I would be less confident but we don’t lose to Spurs at the Emirates in the Premier League and predicting a loss would be harsh."
The mixed reviews amongst the panel continued into the match against Brighton which takes place a week after the North London derby.
Chris Davison: “Brighton at home are a very strong team and have confidence. Graham Potter’s done a good job there and I think we will struggle.
Bailey Keogh: “Brighton is a tough place to go away from home and they have started the season excellently and they have won this season whilst we haven’t so I feel like we will lose against Brighton.”
Tom Canton: “ I feel like we might have finally gotten over the Brighton Banana-skin and we will have enough to go there and win.”
There was a unanimous decision for the team to win against Crystal Palace but the Aston Villa fixture caused up a stir.
Hush Kerai: We’ve got a bit of revenge to take out on Villa after all the Buendia stuff, so I think it will be a much-needed win in the end.
Arsenal will return from the international break to play against Norwich on September 13.
