Arsenal were top of the league before Man city claimed that position by beating Leicester City. Although they have a game in hand against Nottingham Forest and they can easily get back on top.
Arsenal is currently having a phenomenal season and their performance was the hot topic every game week.
However lately, there are some issues rising from their performance as they drew and lost their last two matches.

The decline in Arsenal’s performance?
Arsenal were cruising in the Premier League a few game weeks back but now it seems like the ride would not be that smooth the way the Gunners imagine it to be.
Lately, Arsenal are not performing at the level they were playing at in the past few weeks. There can be many issues that can be pointed at for this decline in performance.
Fatigue is an issue being highlighted and if that is the case then it’s a big problem for the team.
Although the main reason can be the unavailability of Zinchenko. The left-back joined the team this season from Manchester City.
The Ukrainian left-back has been absent from the team since the match against Spurs. He suffered a knock in late August and had to miss few games.
Even though he only has a 1G/A (transfermarket) for the team this season, his contribution and presence in the defence cannot be ignored.
The unavailability of such an influential player can be a loss for any team but with Arsenal having a comparatively younger squad and a lack of leaders, the loss of Zinchenko and his leadership skill is surely a problem.
It’s fair to say that his importance was felt when he was not available and every Gunner will be hoping for his quick recovery.
