Arsenal’s 2024/25 Premier League Campaign: A Look At The Statistics

Arsenal’s 2024/25 Premier League campaign has officially come to a close, with Mikel Arteta’s men finishing in second place on 74 points. While they ultimately fell short in the title race, which was clinched by Liverpool with 84 points, the Gunners’ season was still marked by consistency, resilience, and steady progress.

A Strong League Performance

Over the course of 38 matches, Arsenal recorded 20 wins, 14 draws, and just 4 losses. That impressive record showcases a team that was extremely hard to beat, demonstrating improved maturity in navigating difficult games. Although the number of draws may have ultimately cost them in the race for the title, it also reflects their ability to avoid defeat on tough days — a quality not to be underestimated.

Their tally of 74 points is only three fewer than their total from the 2022/23 campaign and good enough to finish above reigning champions Manchester City, who came third with 71 points. While silverware evaded them again, Arsenal maintained their status as one of the Premier League’s top sides.

Offensive Firepower and Defensive Solidity

The Gunners ended the season with 69 goals scored and just 34 conceded, resulting in a goal difference of +35 — a testament to their balanced style of play. Offensively, the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard provided crucial contributions across the season, combining flair with clinical finishing. Arsenal’s attacking setup often proved too much for many teams, especially in transition and on the counter.

At the back, David Raya — in his first full season as Arsenal’s undisputed number one — formed a solid partnership with defenders William Saliba, Ben White, and Gabriel Magalhães. Their disciplined defensive structure saw them keep numerous clean sheets and shut down some of the league’s most dangerous attackers.

The Midfield Engine

Arsenal’s midfield remained one of the most effective in the division, with Martin Ødegaard pulling the strings and Declan Rice offering the physical and tactical stability required in big matches. Thomas Partey and Mikel Merino also added depth and quality when called upon, allowing Arteta to rotate without losing cohesion.

Ødegaard’s creativity, leadership, and vision were vital in unlocking defences, while Rice’s defensive contributions and ball progression allowed Arsenal to control the tempo of games. Their combined impact was crucial to the team’s 20 victories.

Conclusion: A Foundation for the Future

While the campaign did not end with the ultimate prize, Arsenal’s Premier League season was a clear sign of continued development under Mikel Arteta. Finishing second in the league with only four defeats speaks volumes about their consistency and competitiveness at the top level.

The statistics underline just how close the Gunners are to reaching the summit. With smart additions in the summer and key players continuing to evolve, Arsenal will go into the 2025/26 season aiming to turn near success into definitive triumph.
