Two months ago, Arsenal were bottom of the Premier League table after suffering a 5-0 loss to Manchester City which was their third consecutive defeat in their first three games of the season. As it stands now, the Gunners are just 3 points away from the top 4 and have a realistic chance of reaching 4th position before the November international break.
The international break comes up after the next two Premier League games. Ordinarily, with Arsenal currently 10th on league table, the chances of all 6 teams between them and the 4th position dropping points while the Gunners win both games should be slim.
Looking at the next two fixtures of the six teams above Arsenal, there is a realistic chance of all six dropping points within the next two games. All Arsenal have to do is win their own fixtures.
Two wins in the next two games will leave Arsenal with 20 points. West Ham, who are the furthest away from the Gunners play Aston Villa and Liverpool. The Hammers are most likely to be defeated by the high flying reds. If they also drop points against Villa, they could vacate their current position by next Sunday.
