Scholes: Arsenal can’t win EPL due to poor big-game form.

Former Manchester United star Paul Scholes has insisted that Arsenal have “no chance” of winning the Premier League this season, arguing that Mikel Arteta’s team consistently fail to perform in major fixtures.

Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Scholes said the Gunners must start winning high-stakes matches if they want to be genuine title contenders.

Despite their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa over the weekend, Arsenal remain two points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Leandro Trossard had levelled the game after Matty Cash’s opener, but Villa secured victory with Emiliano Buendia’s late strike. Manchester City later defeated Sunderland 3-0, keeping the pressure on the leaders.

While some pundits still back Arsenal for the title, Scholes strongly disagrees.

“Man City have a great chance now,” he said. “They always improve in the second half of the season, and the issue with Arsenal is they can’t win big games. Until they start doing that, they’ve got no chance of winning the league.”

The former midfielder referenced several key matches Arsenal failed to win, including their loss to Liverpool, their inability to defeat a struggling Manchester City at home, and their recent defeat to Aston Villa. He also pointed out their draw against ten-man Chelsea.

Scholes stressed that any team aiming for the Premier League title must consistently beat top rivals.

“Arsenal just can’t win big games,” he said, adding that City historically become stronger after January.
