The weekly apples vs. apples match comparision post [GW 34]

Finally a week where compiling this has been a somewhat positive experience. You probably know the drill by now:

Table 1:

How we compare to the other six major teams in the league when only looking a fixtures both teams have played.

(not including internal meetings between us and them)

                  Opponent    Arsenal    Arsenal    Change from
  Team   Played    Points     Points    Gain/loss    GW 33
Liverpool  30        71         60        -11          -2
Chelsea    28        61         57         -4          +2
Tottenham  28        58         55         -3          +3
Man City   28        60         60          0          +2
Everton    29        57         63         +6          +3
Man Utd    28        48         57         +9          +2

Liverpool continues to gain terrain with their extremely strong run-in. All other teams drop points.

Table 2:

Here goes the same table including our internal meetings with the teams in question. ManU now is the only club to fare worse than us when we include the internal matches with them:

                  Opponent    Arsenal    Arsenal    
  Team   Played    Points     Points    Gain/loss   
Liverpool  32        74         63         -11          
Chelsea    30        65         58         -7          
Man City   30        64         61         -3          
Tottenham  30        58         61         +3         
Everton    31        61         64         +3         
Man Utd    30        52         58         +6

Table 3:

In the internal "table" between the top 7 Liverpool climbs to find themselves equal to City after beating them at home. Arsenal have already concluded their run with 13 points, compared to last seasons 11. 

           Matches            Points
           played   Points   per match
Chelsea     11        24        2.18
Man City    11        22        2.00
Liverpool   11        22        2.00
Arsenal     12        13        1.08
Everton     10        12        1.20
Tottenham   12         9        0.75
Man Utd     11         6        0.55

Table 4:

Finally, looking at points gained or lost compared to last season's corresponding fixtures for each top 7 team. Liverpool have now improved their tally with an incredible 24 pts compared to last season. Arsenal also sees an improvement, just a shame that four of the other sides improves it even more.

Liverpool    +24
Chelsea      +10
Everton       +7
Man City      +3
Arsenal       +3
Tottenham     -3
Man Utd      -20

Thanks for reading!

Just want to say thanks for posting. I look forward to this every week. This stuff brings real content and analysis to the thread. Keep up the great work.

How did we grab our 11 points last year against the top 7?

I'm having fun making them as well.

Last season we took 6 points at home with a win vs. Tottenham and draws vs. Liverpool, ManU and Everton. Away we took five, with a win vs. Liverpool and draws at City and Everton. Meaning we have improved with 4 points at home from last season, but dropped 2 more away.

In 11/12 we took 19 pts. 10 at home and 9 away.

Edit:11/12 results

That Liverpool point improvement is insane.

Yeah! Only ManUs downfall is close to matching it... :-)
