Arsenal’s Best Performers at the Two Most Recent World Cups   Arsenal fans won’t have given too much thought to this summer’s World Cup. They have enough on their hands. The Gunners looked set to embark upon a famous quadruple just a few weeks ago.

Then, the League Cup final changed everything. With the bookies installing Mikel Arteta’s men as narrow favourites to dispatch Manchester City at Wembley, it was Pep Guardiola’s men who rose to the occasion. Two quickfire second-half goals from academy product Nico O’Reilly were enough to secure a 2-0 victory for the Blues , plunging Arsenal’s campaign into uncertainty.

Arsenal’s Nervy End to the Season The Gunners looked a certainty for the Premier League title heading into the Wembley clash, sitting nine points clear of second-place City. Now, with the momentum Pep’s side has garnered from their League Cup triumph, Arsenal fans are looking over their shoulders, knowing that their nine-point lead could well become just three in double quick time should their campaign unravel in the worst way. The bookies still list Arteta’s men as a clear 1/10 favourite, with City still as long as 6/1 with some outlets.
