Arsenal's Premier League season in numbers: Goals, assists and more stats

Tom Doyle15 March 2020

The Premier League season has been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Arsenal directly affected by Covid-19.

Gameweek 29 of the EPL season had been due to continue following government guidance on Thursday, but late that evening, Arsenal confirmed that head coach Mikel Arteta had contracted Covid-19.

Arteta is already on the mend and says he is feeling much better since his diagnosis, though as a result, Arsenal's London Colney training base has been shut with players and staff now self-isolating.

The 2019/20 season is provisionally due to restart on April 4, but there is no real way of knowing whether that is a possibility given the likelihood that the government will soon impose measures curbing mass gatherings and sporting events.

With the season suspended for the time being, here is a look at the key numbers behind the Gunners' campaign so far...

  • Premier League position: 9th
  • Points: 40
  • Games played: 28
  • Wins: 9
  • Draws: 13
  • Losses: 6
  • Goals scored: 40
  • Goals conceded: 36
