Back On Track in November
Two wins in the Europa League see the Gunners going through their Europa League group. The game against Basaksehir next month will define wether Arsenal will finish first or second. In terms of Premier League football, Tuchel’s side picked themselves up after a few disappointing resuslts in October and got back on winning ways. A solid win against Palace and a dramatic turnaround against Huddersfield sent the Gunners to Manchester with confidence but the clash at Old Trafford ended without a goal for both sides. However, Arsenal ended the month on winning ways as they beat Manchester City in midweek.

Tuchel's comment:
A great month all around. Five wins and one draw show that we are on the right track. I thought that we were dominant in every game we played and I am particulary happy that we showed character against Huddersfield and came back to win it. Surely, the fans will have enjoyed our away win against Manchester City were we proved once again that we can perform in big games. However, no titles are won yet and we have to keep our game on a high level to get some silverware in the end. Next month sees our last Europa League game in the group stages as we host Basaksehir n the fight for the top spot in the group. Looking on the Premier League, we should get some wins on our back for sure but Christmas period might be very tough. Away trips to Stoke and Liverpool in the space of just three days will require our full squad depth. Let’s bring it on!
