Arsenal are proving that last season’s surprise title challenge was not a fluke: they are firmly in the race to win the Premier League for the first time in two decades.
The Gunners have been in exceptional form since the turn of the year and headed into the final 10 games
fractionally ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table
, while their recent scoring prowess has boosted their goal difference to a healthier state than that of their closest rivals.
Memories of last season will be difficult to shake off. Mikel Arteta’s side were enjoying a proud position as league leaders until their form fell away in the decisive weeks of the season, a run of two wins in eight games across April and May ultimately allowing City to claim the trophy. Arteta and his players have certainly looked in a confident mood heading into the business end of 2023/24, though.
Here, The Sporting News has a breakdown of Arsenal’s remaining schedule, plus a points prediction for the games they have coming up, based on this season’s form and the result in the same game in 2022/23. Could this be the year they finally get their hands on the trophy for the first time since the ‘Invincibles’ of 2004?

The Premier League table as things stand
Arsenal prediction for run-in 2023/24: How many points will they get?
Here’s a run-down of Arsenal’s remaining fixtures, and a prediction of how many points they might expect to get.
Man City (A): March 31
A repeat of Arsenal’s 4-1 thrashing at a similar stage of last season always felt highly unlikely. City dominated possession but there were very few chances to speak of throughout a game that was hardly a classic.
Result last season: Man City 4-1 Arsenal
Prediction this season: Man City 2-2 Arsenal
Final score: Man City 0-0 Arsenal
Luton Town (H): April 3
Luton have put up a commendable fight in their first Premier League season, but this ended up being a routine home win for a rotated Gunners line-up after captain Martin Odegaard opened the scoring
Result last season: N/A
Prediction this season: Arsenal 4-1 Luton Town
Final score: Arsenal 2-0 Luton Town
Brighton (A): April 6
In perhaps their most commanding performance of 2024, the Gunners cruised to victory on the south coast. Saka dispatched from the spot to give Arsenal the lead before Havertz doubled it later in the second half. Trossard then rubbed salt in Brighton’s wounds as he cutely chipped home to make it three.
Result last season: Brighton 2-4 Arsenal
Prediction this season: Brighton 0-3 Arsenal
Final score: Brighton 0-3 Arsenal

Aston Villa (H): April 14
We had this as a draw given Villa’s need to earn points in the Champions League race and due to their performance against some of the big sides this season in previous games. But this was a truly outstanding display that left Arsenal stunned.
Result last season: Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa
Prediction this season: Arsenal 1-1 Aston Villa
Final score: Arsenal 0-2 Aston Vila
Wolves (A): April 20
While it wasn’t as convincing as last season, Arsenal got the job done in the Midlands as they bounced back from Champions League disappointment in the middle of the week. Trossard poked the Gunners ahead moments before half-time and Odegaard secured the three points in injury time with a tidy finish.
Result last season: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
Prediction this season: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
Final score: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
Chelsea (H): April 23
Arsenal beat Chelsea comfortably at home last season, and things have not exactly gone great for Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues in 2023/24. A traditionally high-scoring derby game like this had the potential to see the Gunners slip up. The game that unfolded was high-scoring but emphatically one-way as
Arsenal romped to a 5-0 win
.
Result last season: Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea
Prediction this season: Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea
Final score: Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea
Tottenham (A): April 28
This was a significant test of Arsenal’s mettle and they came through in the end, although they did their best to throw away a big result. The Gunners led comfortably 3-0 thanks to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s own goal and finishes from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, but David Raya’s error gifted Cristian Romero an easy finish and Declan Rice conceded a penalty to allow Son Heung-min to score. It finished 3-2 to the away side.
Result last season: Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal
Prediction this season: Tottenham 2-1 Arsenal
Final score: Tottenham 2-3 Arsenal
Bournemouth (H): May 4
Bournemouth lost this game last season thanks to Reiss Nelson’s 97th-minute winner. The Cherries are a more rounded side these days, but Arsenal ran out deserved 3-0 winners
Result last season: Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth
Prediction this season: Arsenal 2-0 Bournemouth
Final score: Arsenal 3-0 Bournemouth
Man United (A): May 12
United proved a tough test for the Gunners but they showed their defensive strength to hold onto a first-half lead thanks to Leandro Trossard’s tidy finish.
Result last season: Man United 3-1 Arsenal
Prediction this season: Man United 1-2 Arsenal
Final score: Man United 0-1 Arsenal
Everton (H): May 19
Everton will not now playing for survival come the final day, but they might still see this as a game to let loose a little. Arteta’s men should still outscore them.
Result last season: Arsenal 4-0 Everton
Prediction this season: Arsenal 3-2 Everton
