Arsenal

  • Finishing position in last two seasons - 2019/20 - 8th, 2018/19 - 5th
  • Total number of points earned in last two seasons: 126
  • Points earned at home in last two seasons: 81
  • Points earned away from home in last two seasons: 45 
  • Average Points Behind League Champions in last two seasons: 35.5
  • Total number of goals in last two seasons: 129
  • Total number of goals conceded in last two seasons: 99

Not since 2004 have Arsenal won the Premier League and a title victory in 2020/21 isn't looking likely. Not since the 2013/14 season have they even finished less than 10 points behind the champions. Last season, that gap was a massive 43 points, just 13 less than the total they earned themselves. More worrying is the fact that they ended the season ten points behind the Champions League places. Only an FA Cup win earned them a place in the Europa League as they could only manage an eighth place finish in the Premier League. That was their lowest finish in the Premier League since the 1994/95 season when finishing 12th.

56 points were earned last season, the first time ever in the Premier League they had failed to make it to 60 goals. There's a lot of work to be done as Mikel Arteta begins his first full season in charge at the Emirates. Last season saw them win 14 games, that's compared to 21 in the previous campaign. 14 games were drawn, the joint most in the league (alongside Wolves) and that's a number that has to be reduced in the 2020/season.
