Why Arsenal Have Not Won Since

Several factors contributed to Arsenal’s title drought after 2004. The move from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium required significant financial investment, while rivals such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool increased competition at the top of English football.

Despite coming close on several occasions, Arsenal have yet to add a 14th league title. Under Mikel Arteta, however, the club has re-emerged as a consistent contender.
