"the fifth consecutive season in which Arsenal have had a winter slump. We've found it hard going in December and January"
Since the beginning of Dec, Arsenal have created the most xG in the PL and conceded the least xG and are the only team with xPTS/g over 2.
In the cups we've won 5 out of 5.

Gary Neville: "Manchester United were by far the better team in the second half".
Arsenal had twice as many shots, more on target and the only big chance of the half creating 50% more xG.
More passes, better pass completion and more than 3x as many touches in the box.

On the @arseblog.com arsecast today you were saying that, whatever about the attack, You were worried about the defence giving away more chances now.
That was the least xG Manchester United have created all season.

The underlying numbers for Arsenal are holding strong despite some discouraging results.
They have taken a dip for our main rival though. (Man City, if it needed pointing out...)

Huge game Tuesday night.
If you are lucky enough to have a ticket, then bring your fucking dinner
Your team needs you. Give them hell. Howl for every decision, put pressure on the ref, make home advantage count.
Please be in your seats for 8.10, to give it the full beans for ‘The Angel’

Ola! We were the only outlet outside of Portugal to cover the game last night. That’s not a shot at anyone else, budgets are tight and there are lots of things to cover! Arseblog News paid to cover it, as the site has for many years now.

Looking at the correlation of xG with points by type (for, against, difference, set-piece, non set-piece & overall).
Highest correlated stats R² >0.3 are:
xGD Overall (0.46)
xGA Overall (0.44)
xGD Set-Piece (0.37)
The worst correlation is non set-piece xG for (R²=0.07)
*small sample size warning*

A lot of talk about Arsenal not having the correct risk/reward balance.
But, objectively, they have the best goal difference and the best xGD in the league and they have had one of the hardest schedules so far.
Only Liverpool have scored more goals and they scored three of them with a man advantage.

0.19xG : Salah's current 10 game non penalty xG per 90 in the Premier League.
The first time in his Liverpool career that it has dropped below 0.20
Under Klopp it never dropped below 0.28

Any critique of Arteta playing a cagey gameplan would have to be levelled at Slot, who did the same — except with all his best players, at Anfield. Anything else is post hoc fallacy.

Today against AFC was the least xG Liverpool have ever generated in the PL whilst still managing to score a goal (for games that I have with data; going back to 2017-2018)

@simongleave.bsky.social Hi. ECI has odds for Premier League at 41% for Arsenal and 29% for Liverpool even though they have the same points and Liverpool have a slightly higher rating (4095 v 4047).
