Arsenal and Liverpool Analysis: Key Talking Points in November 2026

Arsenal and Liverpool in Focus

Arsenal FC are being talked about again. The table says what that talk is worth.

The Season So Far, in Numbers

Arsenal FC are 1st in the Premier League on 24 points from 9 games: 8 won, 0 drawn, 1 lost. They have scored 14 and conceded 5, a goal difference of +9 — 1.56 scored and 0.56 conceded per game.

Manchester City FC are next below on 21, 3 behind.

What the Split Tells You

At 1.56 scored and 0.56 conceded per game, this is a tight side that does not score enough. Goal difference of +9 after 9 games is the honest summary — it moves slower than form does, and it is the number that ends up deciding where a side finishes.

The Pace They Are On

24 points from 9 is 2.67 per game. Held across a full season that lands around 101 points. Whether that is enough depends entirely on the clubs immediately around them in the table above — which is why the gap to Arsenal FC matters more than the headline that brought you here.
