Statistics reveal how Arteta has made Arsenal’s defence to be the best in the world

Mikel Arteta has certainly made his mark on Arsenal since taking over as manager, and the latest statistic to come out of the Premier League only serves to highlight the impact he has had on the team. According to recent data, Arsenal have conceded the fewest Expected Goals (xGC) so far in this 2023/24 Premier League campaign, a clear indication of how Arteta has overhauled the team’s defence.

Currently sitting in 3rd position on the Premier League table with 27 points, Arsenal have been impressive this season and their recent 3-1 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium only further solidifies their position as a top contender in the league. Their next game will see them take on Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday 25th November 2023 after the international break, and fans will undoubtedly be looking forward to seeing how Arteta’s defensive tactics continue to shape the team’s performance.

The statistic regarding Arsenal’s xGC is particularly significant when considering that it reflects not just the number of goals conceded, but also takes into account the quality of chances given up by a team. This means that Arteta’s influence on Arsenal’s defensive organization and discipline is clearly paying off, as they have managed to limit their opponents’ scoring opportunities more effectively than any other team in the league.

With Arteta at the helm, it seems that Arsenal’s defence has truly become one of the best in the world this season, and fans will be eager to see if they can maintain this impressive form as they continue their campaign in the Premier League.
