Positive #2: Defensive lockout continues

You may be bored of hearing it, but I am certainly not bored of saying it—Arsenal has still conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season. In addition, after the win over Brighton, Arsenal has kept five more clean sheets (14) than any other team, which proves just how strong our defense has been.

While the scoreline may suggest an easy ride, Arsenal's defence and David Raya needed to be on top form. Gabriel Magalhaes produced a fine block to deny what looked a likely goal, while Raya executed an excellent save to deny Julio Enciso a wonder goal, too.

The Gunners have conceded just four goals in 2024 and are currently on a seven-game unbeaten run, the perfect form ahead of a crucial, and very busy, run-in.
