These latest stats predict that Arsenal will finish in fifth this season, while Spurs will finish fourth.

Worryingly, one of Arsenal’s top pass combinations against Manchester City was between Gabriel and Petr Cech.

Laurent Koscielny was once again Arsenal’s main man against Manchester City.

When you think of Alexis Sanchez, it’s usually something to do with football, dogs or smiling; he’s a lover not a fighter.

Theo Walcott has now scored more Premier League goals than Robert Pires.

Olivier Giroud is level on headed goals with former Spurs star, Gareth Bale.

Nacho Monreal and Petr Cech are two Arsenal stars among the players with the highest Premier League win percentage.

After Gabriel had a surprisingly successful spell at right-back in place of the injured Hector Bellerin, he appears to have improved at centreback as well.

Despite Arsenal losing against Everton 2-1 on Tuesday night, Granit Xhaka was still the passmaster, completing the most passes out of anyone on the pitch.

Hector Bellerin has more assists since making his Arsenal debut than Bacary Sagna had during his entire final five years at the club.

Alexis Sanchez didn’t score against Stoke City but he created the most chances out of anyone else on the pitch.

Theo Walcott is now a member of the 100 club.

Although there’s no question that Petr Cech is, or at least once was, one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, his lack of saved penalties is disturbing.

It may not surprise you to learn that Granit Xhaka completed the most passes out of any other player on the pitch during Arsenal v Stoke.

Arsenal are in sixth place when it comes to the best teams in Europe this season with two potential Champions League opponents occupying spots above them.

Arsenal have not conceded a single goal in the Premier League in the first 15 minutes of a game, nor in the final 15 at home, and have not conceded a first half goal on the road.

Alexis Sanchez and Nacho Monreal were both selected in Garth Crook’s BBC Team of the Week for the matches that were played this weekend.

In a poll Daily Cannon ran on Sunday, 32% of Arsenal fans voted for Alexis Sanchez’s hat-trick against West Ham over Dennis Bergkamp’s against Leicester City in 1997.

It may not surprise you in the slightest but Alexis Sanchez has more shots, on target or otherwise, than any other player for either Arsenal or West Ham during the Gunners’ 5-1 win.

A rare Premier League start for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain but another solid performance.
