However, they have struggled to carry the momentum into the second half of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2022\/23 season, Arsenal were the favourites to win the title after scoring 44 points in the first 19 games.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half, their challenge fizzled out, as they dropped points in 10 of 19 games (D 5, L 5).<\/p>\n<p>The following season, they had taken the top spot by Gameweek 17. From the next Matchday, they hit a slump, as they scored just one point from the following three matches.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal charged to a strong finish, but the mid-season slump cost them the title.<\/p>\n<p>The North London club were not really in contention to win the top-flight title in 2024\/25, thanks to Liverpool&#8217;s dominant display.<\/p>\n<p>However, the worrying trend continued, as they dropped more points in the second half of the season (22) than they did in the first (18).<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are in a comfortable position to win the Premier League title this season. But a slump in the second half of the season cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n<h3>Regression to the mean is likely<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/sakabukucl-560x315.jpg\" alt=\"Bukayo Saka\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/sakabukucl-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/sakabukucl-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/sakabukucl-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/sakabukucl.jpg 820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal have scored 24 goals in the Premier League \u2014 the joint-highest in the division alongside Manchester City.

Opta&#8217;s Supercomputer is forecasting that correction.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners could find it more difficult to edge out difficult matches.
