Arsenal Roundup: Four Straight Wins Leave the Gunners Second
A club check-in on Arsenal: second in the Premier League table on 12 points from five matches, three behind a perfect Manchester City, with the goals shared around and Leeds United up next at the Emirates.
Where Arsenal stand
According to the Premier League table, Arsenal head into October second, with 12 points from five matches — four wins and one defeat — plus eight goals scored, four conceded and a goal difference of +4. The form line reads LWWWW: since the early-season defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion, four straight wins have followed. Above them stand only Manchester City, perfect on 15 points, with Brighton third on 10 and an unbeaten Leeds United side fifth on nine.
The results so far
The results data shows the shape of the run:
- Brighton & Hove Albion 3–0 Arsenal — the club's only league defeat to date
- Sunderland AFC 0–2 Arsenal
- Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea
Who is scoring
FanTribe's scorer data shows the goals are being shared around. Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard each have two, with Bruno Guimarães also on the board — no single player is being asked to carry the attack across the club's eight league goals.
The FanTribe view
Arsenal's FanTribe community currently stands at 44 fans, and with four consecutive wins behind the team there is plenty for that group to be cheerful about. The table is tight at the top, but according to the league form data no side outside Manchester City can match Arsenal's four-match winning run.
