How Do Arsenal vs Tottenham Current Standings Stack Up? 5 Key Stats You Need!
Alright so I figured I’d actually sit down and compare how Arsenal and Tottenham are doing right now. You know how people just throw numbers around without context? Yeah hate that. Wanted to see the real picture myself.
First thing I did was haul out my laptop. Opened three tabs: Premier League official site for the table, FBref for deeper stats, and FotMob just ‘cause it’s quick. Grabbed a cold drink – this was gonna take a sec.
Point 1: Just the Points
Started simple. Total points. Arsenal was sitting at 77 points after 33 games. Tottenham? Way back at 60 after 32 games. That gap ain’t small, man. Wrote both numbers down in my notebook like some old-school detective. Pen ran out of ink halfway. Typical.
Point 2: Goals Scored… and Leaked
Scrolled down to goals scored. Arsenal: 82. Not bad. Tottenham: 68. Okay difference. But then I looked at goals against. Whoa. Arsenal conceded just 26. That’s insane! Tottenham gave up 55. Five-five! Leakiest defense in the top half. Scribbled “Arsenal DEFENSE = Wall” with a big circle around it.
Point 3: Head-to-Head Beatdown
Had to check the actual matches they played this season. Went back to the league site archives. North London Derby results popped up. September 2023: Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham. Then April 2024: Tottenham 2-3 Arsenal. So Arsenal got more points overall from those two games. Not perfect, but definitely edge to the Gunners. Felt smug noting that one.
Point 4: Recent Form Blues
Checked the last 5 games section. Arsenal’s was like a green stripe: W-W-W-L-W. Strong. Tottenham’s? W-D-L-L-L. That ugly red L popping up three times screamed “slump”. Shook my head. That last part was brutal.
Point 5: Top 4 vs Title Race
Here’s the kicker. Scrolled the table again. Arsenal was grinding it out near the very top with City breathing down their neck, fighting for the freaking title! Tottenham? Scraping for a Champions League spot way below them. Entirely different battles. Highlighted that in bright yellow marker. Couldn’t believe the difference in pressure.
So yeah, after an hour of tab switching, ink smudges, and almost spilling my drink – the stats scream one thing: right now, it’s not even close. Arsenal is fighting for glory. Tottenham is trying not to trip over its own feet. The numbers don’t lie, even if Spurs fans might wanna yell at them.
