Goal Statistics

Arsenal's defensive record is very strong, M. Arteta's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive English Premier League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Nottingham Forest makes sense in this context.

Arsenal have been consistent in attack of late, finding the net in 17 consecutive English Premier League games. Their PG of 1.7 against Nottingham Forest on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
