"It is interesting because there are some misconceptions we have and that is true with Arsenal. People call them set-piece FC and all that, But they are up there with teams with the most shots in the Premier League and had the fewest goals conceded, conceded the fewest chances and the fewest shots. They are brilliant. They sit top of the league and they deserve to be there."
"It is not hard to see why Arsenal are now many people's favourites to win the Premier League this season. Take their results against Newcastle, West Ham, Fulham and Crystal Palace compared to those matches in the previous campaign. The Gunners have beaten all of them this time around, but dropped 10 points across those games as they fell away in the title race last season."
Arsenal have beaten Newcastle, West Ham, Fulham and Crystal Palace this season, recovering ten points lost in those fixtures last campaign. The Gunners finished second last season, trailing champions Liverpool by 10 points, illustrating the importance of results against fellow top-six rivals. Arsenal have also faced Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle away and Manchester City at home and still lead the table by four points over Bournemouth. The club invested roughly £250m on eight summer signings and have become second top scorers while boasting the tightest defence despite injuries. Statistical measures show high shot totals and the fewest chances conceded.
