New statistics reveal how Mikel Arteta is a tactical genius with Arsenal this season

As the Premier League takes a break for international fixtures, Arsenal fans have plenty to be proud of this season. Mikel Arteta’s side has been in impressive form, currently sitting in 2nd place on the table with 20 points. But it’s not just their position that is catching the eye, it’s also their defensive record.

A recent statistic has revealed that Arsenal are the best team in the league when it comes to limiting shots on target against them. In fact, no other team has allowed fewer shots on target than the Gunners this season, with only 17 being registered against them so far.

This is a testament to Arteta’s tactical genius and his ability to set up his team in a way that makes them difficult to break down. The Spanish manager has instilled a strong defensive discipline in his players, which has been evident in their recent 1-0 victory over Manchester City.

But it’s not just about keeping the opposition at bay, Arsenal have also been able to create chances and score goals. With star players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka leading the attack, the Gunners have shown a balance between solid defending and attacking prowess.

As Arsenal gear up for their next game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, fans can be confident in their team’s ability to continue their impressive form. And with the recent change in kick-off time for their game against Brentford, even more fans around the world will have the opportunity to witness Arteta’s genius in action.
