'Stop moaning' – Arsenal have no excuses as Christmas fixture reality exposed

Agbonlahor says Arsenal have no excuses with nine consecutive London matches in December and January, and a squad deep enough to rotate.

talkSPORT pundit Frederic Agbonlahor has dismissed any fixture complaints from Arsenal, pointing out that the Gunners play nine consecutive matches in London during December and January—a highly favourable run during the typically demanding festive period. With a squad of 25-26 top international players, including depth such as Ethan Nwaneri sent out on loan, Agbonlahor argued Arsenal have no reason to moan about scheduling or load management. He highlighted their defensive strength—conceding just five goals with three coming against Brighton—as the foundation for a Premier League title push, suggesting the race is already over in their favour.
