In terms of their attack, in the last six they rank the third best for goals (13), second best for attempts on goal (103) and the best for big chances total (25).

Manchester City are sustaining good offensive and defensive stats.

The best Arsenal attackers

When comparing the Arsenal attackers in the last six matches, striker Eddie Nketiah (£6.8m) leads his teammates in terms of expected data. Not only this but amongst all players in the league he ranks second best for expected goal involvement (5.17) and non penalty expected goal involved.

Midfielder Martin Ødegaard (£7m) ranks above fellow midfielder Bukayo Saka (£8.3m) for both of the data points above and also costs a lot less. Not only this but Ødegaard is also more explosive bagging six double-digit hauls this season compared to Saka’s one.

Although the above are better options than Saka, he’s still a fantastic option. The Englishman takes his teams penalties and has also picked up four returns in his last six matches, reflecting great form.

The best Arsenal defensive options

Those looking for a defensive option with attacking threat could look to Oleksander Zinchenko (£5.1m). He leads his fellow backline in terms of expected goal involvement, chances created and joint first for attempts on goal in the last six matches. Another great option could be Gabriel (£5.2m) who also sits joint first for attempts on goal and comes just behind Zinchenko for expected goal involvement.

The best Arsenal options

Eddie Nketiah and Martin Ødegaard stand out as the best two options but those looking for a third option could even back the triple attack with the addition of Bukayo Saka. Those looking for defensive cover instead could back either Oleksander Zinchenko or Gabriel.
