Please make the following change... 

<select class="form-control" name="article_category">
  <option value="" disabled>--Please select article category</option>
  @foreach ($categories as $category)
    <option value="{{ $category->id }}" @if(request()->input('article_category') == $category->id){{ 'selected' }}@endif>{{ $category->title }}</option>
  @endforeach
</select>
  1. Your $category = $request->input('article_category') was getting overwritten by the foreach($categories as $category) written in foreach.
  2. Also, you must add the selected keyword to mark the option as selected on page load.
