Arsenal with most touches inside the opposition box this season.
The Gunners lead the statistics for touches in the opponent's box.
Mikel Arteta is known for possession football, aiming to combine and build up play to create scoring opportunities. They are the team with the most touches inside the opposition box, indicating their ability to advance on the field and generate chances. However, the question remains: have they converted these opportunities into enough goals?
Team with most touches inside the opposition box:
◉ Arsenal (438)
◉ Tottenham (434)
◉ Chelsea (423)
◉ Manchester City (407)
◉ Liverpool (400)
◉ Aston Villa (381)
With the most touches inside the opponents' box, one would also assume that they rank highly in statistics for goals scored inside the box. Arsenal is the team that has scored the fifth most goals inside the box this season.
Most goals scored inside the box in Premier League:
◉ Manchester City (29)
◉ Newcastle (25)
◉ Aston Villa (24)
◉ Liverpool (24)
◉ Arsenal (22)
◉ Tottenham (21)
When looking at the number of big chances created in the season, Arsenal finds itself in the lower end of Premier League teams. They have created 16 big chances, while Liverpool, which has created the most, has generated 33 big chances. Therefore, Arteta needs to analyze the tactical approach to figure out how to translate those touches inside the opponents' box into more chances and, ultimately, more goals.
