Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has said the team’s trophy hopes will come down to one match this season.

The Gunners came into this campaign as favourites to win the Premier League title.

Mikel Arteta’s men have finished runners-up behind Manchester City in the last two years.

However, despite a strong start, Arsenal are trying to keep pace with league leaders Liverpool.

Arne Slot’s side have lost just one league fixture all season, and remain in contention in all four competitions.

Arsenal are only left in the Premier League and Champions League, after they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle United.

“They’ve got two [trophies left to win], one they could be out of by Wednesday night in my opinion,” Merson said on Sky Sports.

“If Liverpool wins at Everton, that’ll be nine points clear with 15 odd games left. They’d have to lose four of them which I think would be impossible. To me, it comes down to Wednesday.

“I did half-fancy them in the Champions League but I’ve just seen them get destroyed by Newcastle over two legs and – no disrespect – there’s a lot better teams than Newcastle in the Champions League knockout phase, so for me, they’re right up against it.”

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
