Speaking ahead of the match, Madueke frames the situation around recent scrutiny Arsenal have faced domestically, including criticism that they “bottle” the Premier League. According to reporting that links to Arsenal’s recent league finishes, the club has come second in each of the past three seasons before winning the title in the most recent campaign referenced by the outlets.
