#3 Arsenal cannot buy a clean sheet

Unai Emery's side just fail to keep clean sheets

Four clean sheets. Arsenal have kept only four clean sheets in 26 rounds of fixtures. Only relegation-threatened Fulham, with two, have kept less clean sheets than the Gunners.

The club has not been helped with injuries to key players and even some season-ending injuries in defence. Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal and Mustafi have all suffered niggles all season while Holding and Bellerin have suffered possible season-ending injuries.

Against the Terriers, it seemed that Arsenal will get the much craved clean sheet. Huddersfield had scored only 13 goals all season and was on a long run without a goal.

As it is in Arsenal's nature this season, they conceded yet another goal. Kolasinac flicked the ball into his net while trying to clear the ball.

This season, Arsenal have been outscored by Tottenham and Liverpool by one goal and six goals respectively.

However, their points tally doesn't match up as a result of their inability to keep clean sheets. This considerably puts their top four chances in jeopardy. The Gunners are the only Premier League club without an away clean sheet this season.
