Arsenal are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League matches, winning seven of those, but surprisingly, The Gunners are yet to go into half-time of any Premier League match this season in the lead.

They have proved themselves to be stronger in the second half, scoring 19 of their 25 league goals after the break.

Even more impressively, they have picked up eight points from losing positions this season, which is more than any other Premier League side, as Emery has helped forge Arsenal into a compact side who never give up until the final whistle, which is a far cry from what was obtainable under Arsene Wenger, as Arsenal were accused of having a soft underbelly.

Resilience is a key trait of the greatest footballing sides, and on evidence of what we’ve seen so far, Emery could be on his way to restoring the greatness back to Arsenal.
