Arsenal have started new season with 2 consecutive defeats against Manchester City and Chelsea.
However, Unai Emery’s team has proved their class during next two matches. Gunners beat West Ham at Emirates 3-1 and Cardiff City in Wales 2-3.
However, Arsenal have already conceded 8 goals, which means Emery is still searching best combination and formation of defensive line.
Arsenal could have conceded only 5 goals according to the expected goals against (xA) data.
The ratio of conceded goals and xA is 2.58 (8 against 5.42). This is 20th result in the league. For example, the xA of West Ham United is 1.75. In other words, Arsenal have conceded 3 goals from situations, that usually are not dangerous.
