Should you bet on Arsenal’s fortunes over the festive period?

he festive period for English football has always been a busy one, and this year is no different. The week ahead will see the Premier League play on Boxing Day, then again over the weekend, and then again on New Year’s Day-three rounds of games condensed into a week filled with action. This is a long-standing tradition, of course-without football, Christmas and New Year just don’t feel the same. Obviously, jam-packed weeks like this one will give you the chance to’ earn’ some extra Christmas cheer if you like. I’m thinking, of course, about the opportunity to play on online bookies like bet365 via betting and mobile gaming, through this application.

Arsenal fans, in particular, may have more reason than most to be in a festive mood. The club finally got around to naming Unai Emery’s successor this week, appointing former captain Mikel Arteta as manager on a contract till June 2023. This is a significant show of faith in a managerial novice, albeit one who has spent the last three years as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City, and thus has been learning from arguably the best manager in the world. Fans will be hoping that his arrival will finally bring the club onto an even keel and get them performing at their potential, which has definitely not been the case so far this season.
