Game week 7 could have saved the best till last, with two compelling tea-time fixtures. Arsenal lock horns with Manchester United at the Emirates, while Swansea City invite Tottenham Hotspur to the Liberty Stadium as they search for their first win in four outings.

The Gunners finally translated their dominant goal threat into tangible returns last weekend, scoring five past Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Having chalked up six more big chances (17) and shots on target (34) than any side over the last four Gameweeks, the North London outfit pose a serious challenge to the Red Devils’ back line. As for Man United, no team has amassed more goals (10) over that same stretch, with their shot accuracy (40.5%) and conversion rate (23.8%) were the best in the league.

The Swans’ wings have been clipped following their breathless start to the campaign, with just one goal scored since Gameweek 4. Spurs’ attacking contingent will be boosted by the fact that only three teams have conceded more shots inside the box (40) than the Welsh club in the past four Gameweeks. At the other end of the pitch, Mauricio Pochettino’s men conceded the fewest goals (one) and second fewest big chances (three) over that period, which bodes well for their clean-sheet prospects.

    Man Utd fans get delusional for being top of the league. They hadn't faced any tough opponents yet

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Well, tbh, I said to arsenal mates after last weekend, that I doubted we'd be on top for long after the coming 3 fixtures

      1. get_in
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Definately, no United fan realistically expects us to challenge for the title this year. Reckon we're on for a CL spot, might edge third.

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly they not played us (Palace) - luckily got tickets for that game 🙂

      O/
      Greedy to hope for even more from a Martial consolation to wipe out Arsenal cleansheets as the icing on the cake?

  28. Mr Delboy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I have Lukaku, Coutinho, Sanchez and Ayew playing for me today. I hope they did something. Break the news to me...
