Highlights.

MOTM: Kai Havertz.

Arsenal have kept seven PL clean sheets in 2024, at least two more than any other side.

In their last two away games, Arsenal have ended Man City’s 47-game scoring run at the Etihad and Brighton’s 12-game unbeaten run at the Amex.

Only two players have taken 5+ penalties in the Premier League this season and scored every single one:

• Cole Palmer (8/8)
• Bukayo Saka (5/5)

The Gunners have kept a clean sheet in five consecutive Premier League away games for just the second time in their history and for the first time since 1997.

The Gunners had more touches in the opposition box than any other away side has managed in the first half of a Premier League game against Brighton this season (33). The last four sides only had 14 between them.

Arsenal haven’t trailed for a single minute in any of their 11 Premier League games in 2024, their longest run of games without falling behind in the competition since a run of 12 between February-May 2005.

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has scored 14 goals in 29 Premier League outings this season, equalling his most in a single campaign in the competition in nine fewer appearances (14 in 38 games in 2022-23).

Kai Havertz has now scored 9 goals in the Premier League this season, his best ever season in the Premier League:

• 2020/21 ~ 4 goals
• 2021/22 ~ 8 goals
• 2022/23 ~ 7 goals
• 2023/24 ~ 9 goals

Saka has now scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season, equaling his best ever return in a single Premier League season.

Arsenal won both Premier League meetings with Brighton in 2023-24 without conceding a goal; the first time the Seagulls have lost and failed to score home and away against an opponent in the Premier League under Roberto De Zerbi, having last done so in 2021-22 against Aston Villa (under Graham Potter).

Brighton suffered their first home defeat in the Premier League since August (1-3 v West Ham), ending what was their longest home unbeaten run in the competition (12 games). Indeed, this was their heaviest home defeat to nil in the top-flight since February 2022 (0-3 v Burnley).
