After winning the North London Derby over the weekend, Arsenal entered the Top 4. A single point separates them from Chelsea now.

The Gunners have also reduced their deficit to Liverpool to just five points. Arsenal's main highlight of the season has been their impressive goalscoring form. They have now scored the second highest goals in the league (32).

According to xPTS and xG, the picture could've been bleak for Arsenal at this point in the season. Unai Emery and his team have exceeded their xG tally of 20.83 by 11.17 goals this season, outshining their xPTS by a massive nine points.

In the xPTS table, Arsenal are ranked ninth, below the likes of Bournemouth, Wolves, and Watford.

Arsenal have some tricky fixtures coming up, with their mid-week trip to Old Trafford and also an impending clash with Liverpool. This might challenge their league position going forward.
