Why Mikel Arteta Cannot Afford To End This Season Trophyless

Arsenal booked their place in this season's Carabao Cup final with a 4-2 aggregate win over Chelsea to keep alive their hopes of landing an unprecedented quadruple.

Kai Havertz's injury-time strike was the only goal of the semi-final, second leg at the Emirates and the Gunners will start the final against either Manchester City or Newcastle as favourites on betting sites.

The League Cup might not be the most glamourous of the four trophies Mikel Arteta's side are looking to win, but it would end a six-year trophy drought.

The Gunners' last cup success was lifting the FA Cup in 2020 after coming from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1, thanks to two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. 

With a healthy lead at the top of the Premier League and a favourable draw in the Champions League Round of 16, casino comparison site Gambling.com looks at the odds on how many trophies Arsenal can win this season.

One Better In The League?

Arsenal's recent history in the Premier League is a case of close, but no cigar. 

In 2023, the Gunners finished five points behind champions Manchester City and reduced that gap to two points 12 months later, before ending last season 10 points behind Arne Slot's Liverpool.

After a hat-trick of second-place finishes, winning the Premier League for the first time since the club's 'Invincibles' season would make Arteta a hero in north London. 

With a six-point advantage after winning 4-0 at Leeds, Arsenal are 2/9 to win their fourth Premier League title and be crowned champions of England for the 14th time.

Arsenal Fans Want More Than League Glory 

After establishing such a favourable advantage in the Premier League, a failure to clinch the title could lead to a change of manager. 

Gunners supporters will be delighted with league glory, but they will want and demand more this season. 

Arsenal have won the league and FA Cup double three times in their history and a fourth can be backed at 5/1 on betting apps.

Champions Of England And Europe?

While Arsenal have been English champions 13 times, they have never been able to call themselves champions of Europe.

The closest they came was at the end of the 2005/06 campaign when they faced Barcelona in the Champions League final. 

Arsenal's reward for winning all eight of their league games, the only team to have done so, is a Round of 16 clash with one of Dortmund, Atalanta, Olympiakos or Bayer Leverkusen.

Arsenal are 3/1 to land a Premier League/Champions League double this season.

Gunners First To Land Quadruple?

Only the two Manchester clubs have managed trebles (Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup), but could Arsenal go one further? 

They were 50/1 to clean up in all four competitions, but those odds have been cut to 33/1 and Arteta's side are 25/1 to join United and City as treble winners.

While the Premier League is the trophy most likely to find its way to the Emirates, the League Cup could be the first piece of silverware secured.

Landing the Champions League and the FA Cup depends on how favourable the draws are to the Gunners in the coming weeks and months. 

No Trophies Would Be Unthinkable

A trophyless season would be a disaster for Arsenal and Arteta, who may well lose his job if that was to happen. 

The Gunners are 12/1 to win no trophies this season, while winning the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup can be backed at 8/1.

Arsenal are 28/1 to win the Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup, while a domestic treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup is available at 9/1.

With the money they have spent, Arsenal need to be winning at least the FA Cup and League Cup.
