Goal Statistics

Arsenal have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 6 consecutive English Premier League outings. Their PG of 1.8 against Chelsea on Sunday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Arsenal's defensive record is very strong, Mikel Arteta's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive English Premier League games. An average PG rating of 1.1 for Chelsea makes sense in this context.
