After defeating Brighton and Hove Albion by a score of 4-2 on Saturday night, Mikel Arteta’s team increased their lead in the Premier League standings to seven points. The fact that Arsenal FC has secured forty-three (43) points by winning fourteen (14) games—the most wins by a team in the league thus far—and losing one (1) game and drawing one (1) other is no longer news
Chelsea FC’s performance has not been encouraging, despite the fact that Arsenal has continued to be impressive this season. The Blues have only won one of their previous six Premier League games, scoring just three goals while giving up eight.
Graham Potter’s team has played fifteen (15) games, one fewer than Arsenal, and has amassed twenty-four (24) points after winning seven, losing five, and drawing three of those games.

The current point differential between Arsenal FC and Chelsea FC is nineteen (19), meaning that the Gunners would need to lose six (6) games for Graham Potter’s team to accumulate the same number of points as Mikel Arteta’s team. Chelsea is currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings, but if they defeat Nottingham Forest on Sunday, they might move up to seventh.

However, given their level of play, it should come as no surprise that Chelsea is the poorest big-team scorer and creator in the EPL thus far this season. The lowest goal total of any team currently ranked in the top half of the EPL is Graham Potter’s squad’s 19 goals
