Here are some statistical odds and ends to ponder on a Friday. Remember, the Gunners are back in action tomorrow at 3 pm EDT on NBCSN!
Arsenal has 9 Premier League games left to play this season. Combined, those 9 teams have totaled 288 league points. Break that down, and that’s an average of 32 points per team, which would place that average point total in 16th place on the league table. Only Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea currently have more league points than Arsenal in the remaining 9 PL games.
Arsenal’s record in the last 10 matches in all competitions: 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. A +6 goal differential.
Arsenal’s record in the last 10 Premier League matches: 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. A +4 goal differential.
The Gunners have already played Liverpool 3 times this season:
August 9th…1-1 draw, but a 5-4 penalty shootout win in the Community Shield.
September 28…1-3 defeat at Anfield in the Premier League.
October 1…0-0 draw, but a 5-4 penalty shootout win in the Carabao Cup.
If the Gunners can win on Saturday, they will be only 1 point behind last year’s Premier League champions.
Cheers.
