How Arsenal really compares with their top six rivals

Arsenal head into their clash tomorrow with a remarkable record in matches against top-six opposition. The Gunners, who began their Premier League campaign with a victory over Manchester United on the opening weekend, have now extended their unbeaten run against elite rivals to 22 games. This sequence has become a defining feature of their consistency and underlines their status as one of the most formidable teams in the league.

Liverpool will have the opportunity to bring that run to an end when the two sides meet, but Arsenal equally have the chance to prolong it and strengthen their claim to being the leading force in English football at present. While rival supporters often point to a lack of recent trophies, the statistics clearly highlight Arsenal’s unrivalled consistency over the past few seasons.

Arsenal’s Unbeaten Record Against Elite Opposition

Since the beginning of the 2022–2023 season, Arsenal have established themselves as a transformed team. Not only have they collected more points than any other club in the division, they have also consistently delivered results in their toughest fixtures. This has instilled a sense of confidence in both players and supporters that they can compete with and overcome any opponent in the league.

According to Arsenal Media, the Gunners sit top of a mini-table measuring head-to-head records among the top six sides since their unbeaten run began. In that time, Arsenal have played 22 matches, winning 13, drawing nine, and losing none. They have scored 44 goals, conceded only 20, and accumulated 48 points from those encounters. Such figures are a testament to their tactical discipline, attacking efficiency, and defensive resilience against the strongest sides in the competition.

Liverpool’s Position as Closest Challenger

Liverpool, by comparison, has also demonstrated strength in these high-profile fixtures but remains behind Arsenal in the table. Over 20 games against fellow top-six opponents, Liverpool have collected 33 points, making them the closest challengers to the Gunners’ outstanding record. This context adds an extra layer of anticipation to tomorrow’s meeting at Anfield, as the two leading teams in this particular measure go head-to-head.

Arsenal’s ability to remain unbeaten in these clashes has become a source of immense pride for their supporters, and tomorrow’s fixture presents another opportunity to reinforce their credentials. Liverpool will undoubtedly pose a stern challenge, yet the Gunners will approach the contest with belief, momentum, and the determination to extend one of the most impressive records in the Premier League.
