October 28th: ​​Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in this round of the Premier League’s highlight match. The famous player Merson also wrote an article to express his views on this and asked "Who can beat this Arsenal?". Merson's full text is as follows:

I don't think anyone can stop Arsenal.

They are an efficient machine, and more importantly, this machine is also loaded with top stars.

This team reminds me of the old-style Chelsea team coached by Mourinho. As long as the Blues took the lead, the game was over. It was the same when I was at Arsenal: after a goal was scored the team retreated to half-time. You can see it on the opponent's face that they know the game is over.

I saw the same scene last Wednesday against Atletico Madrid. When Arsenal took the lead, the game lost suspense, and Atletico knew it. This is the sense of oppression that Arsenal brings to their opponents today.

It is difficult for the opponent to even get a chance to kick. The defensive numbers they put up were unprecedented.

This team is well-trained, has strong tactical execution, and has talented players who can create opportunities and score goals - just like Mourinho's Chelsea back then.

I will be shocked if Arsenal fail to win the title.

Although some people will say that there are 30 rounds left in the season, as long as you think back to Szoboszlai's unparalleled world wave, you can't help but ask: Who can beat Arsenal this season?

They maintain the best defensive record in Europe, which means that the team does not need to score too many goals to win the game.

For Arsenal, one goal is enough - what a solid game experience for the forwards.
