Why Arsenal can challenge for the title this coming season

Arsenal was on top of the league for 128 days last term and a major cause of their decline could be attributed to their performances against the top three clubs and a host of injury concerns. Unfortunately the Gunners had to settle with the final spot for the Champions League, finishing fourth in the EPL behind Manchester City, Liverpool & Chelsea.The disappointment among the Arsenal supporters is understandable as they looked so promising to win the league title for a major part of the season. The Gunners however managed to win their first trophy after a 9 year wait; the FA Cup was the last title they won at Highbury and the FA Cup is now the first title they won at the Emirates. The 2013-14 season did end the jokes about not winning a trophy, but the League title is what is required to silence all critics.The season of 2014-15lookspromising for the Gunners.Heres why:

#1 Ozil would have settled to the pace of the EPL

Last term Ozil announced his entry to the EPL as the most expensive signing for the Gunners and a host of brilliant performances and assists, but come midway of the season he seemed to have run out of gas. Having already spent a season at the club, he would now be much better suited to the conditions and play according to the needs of the team.

Ozil, however, would be under a certain amount of pressure to perform this season as Wenger has put his faith in the German international and refused to sign former club captain Fabregas when he had the opportunity to do so. 

Ozil would be looking to better his record in the coming season as the assist leader, a quality of his which was only witnessed occasionally.
