They are on a 4-game winning streak in the league, demonstrating their dominance. The team has been prolific in attack, scoring 12 goals in their last 6 matches across all competitions, averaging 2 goals per game.

The team's unbeaten run extends to 6 games when including the two draws against Inter Milan in the Champions League and Manchester United in the FA Community Shield.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent form has been impressive, with the team currently sitting in 2nd place in the Premier League and boasting an unbeaten run across their last six matches. The Gunners have shown remarkable defensive solidity, keeping five clean sheets in this period and conceding only one goal. Their attacking output has been consistent, scoring in every game except the recent Champions League draw against Atalanta. Notably, Arsenal is on a three-game winning streak in the Premier League, including a crucial 1-0 victory over local rivals Tottenham Hotspur. While their goal-scoring average of 1.33 per game is respectable, it's worth noting that all of their recent matches have been relatively low-scoring affairs, with 100% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. This suggests a trend towards tight, defensive performances that have been yielding positive results for the North London club.
