Arsenal form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Arsenal so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Arteta Amatriain, the Arsenal manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Arsenal had fun at their own home (Elland Road) last time out, beating West Ham United 2-0. Rowe and Martinelli scored. Attacker Lacazette got a player rating of 7.82 in the game. "Man of the match" Lacazette served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 20 successful passes (of 23 total).

That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Southampton.

After this away game Arsenal return home for a Carabao Cup game against Sunderland. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Arsenal as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Arsenal manager Arteta Amatriain has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last six meetings: zero - two - four (Leeds wins - draws - Arsenal wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
