League position: 6th Arsenal had now won only three of their 12 away games so far in this Premier League season, and won two of their last nine Premier League games. The Gunners had now dropped nine points from winning positions in their last five Premier League games. They were now without a win in their first four competitive games of a year for the first time since 1995.
