The Whites avoided losing three consecutive league games for the first time since November 2017 in the League Championship. They had now kept a clean sheet in 100 of their 239 home game in the Premier League.

League position: 11th Arsenal had now drawn 150 of their 543 away games in the Premier League (won 234, lost 159). The Gunners had now failed to score in open play in their last seven hours and 56 minutes of playing time in the Premier League. They had now scored nine goals in their nine games so far in this Premier League season; their lowest total at this stage of a league season since 1986-87 in League Division One (six).
