A run of good results have allowed Arsenal Kiev to rise as high as second place in the league, with Shahktar and Dinamo Kiev both below them in the table they have got a lot of work to do if they are to stay there.
They were close to going into August with back to back fixtures against the big 2, lucky for them a cup match has pushed back the Dinamo match, 2 defeats in a row this early in the season could have dealt a big blow to confidence but now with an easy cup match soon they have a good chance to string a couple of wins together.
The manager is silently praying for January and his new players though as the midfield is a little bit lacking in talent at the minute and it could make them suffer if some injuries to key players were to happen.
For now though Arsenal are happy being the #1 team in the capital no mater how brief the stint may be, with Dinamos recent results though (losing the super cup to Shakhtar then getting beat by them in the league) it may be possible for Arsenal to stay there a while longer.
