Arsenal has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Emirates Stadium. We remember; it was Crystal Palace.

A nice win for Arsenal last time playing, versus Southampton. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Magalhães, Ødegaard and Lacazette scoring for the victors.

Heartbreak before that as Arsenal lost 1-2 at Everton's place.
