With October behind us, we look ahead at what to expect from Arsenal’s November.
While October saw Arsenal win three out of their four Premier League matches, as well as their Europa League clash against Red Star Belgrade, and progress to the fifth round of the League Cup, November has the potential to go very, very wrong.
After hosting Red Star at the Emirates, we have a trip to the Etihad to face the current Premier League leaders, Manchester City, who are unbeaten.
Then, after the interlull, we have the first North London Derby of the season.
Arsenal also travel to Germany to face FC Cologne for the second time, and there are two more Premier League clashes against Burnley and Huddlesfield.
We have six matches in November, two of which are huge, and another involves traveling to another country.
Therefore, as you can imagine, I’m not feeling that confident going into the new month.
So, what can we expect?
3. A dreary North London Derby
After the interlull, Arsenal host Spurs but I can’t see it being momentous.
I reckon it’ll be a mundane draw. Why? Because both teams are struggling to remain consistent, even if Spurs are ahead in the Premier League.
While I would side with a Spurs victory, the Gunners’ home record is impressive.
Still, I can’t see Wenger’s side winning.
Obviously, I hope I’m wrong.
