"The Gunners are having an excellent season with only two defeats in all competitions, boasting a 100% record in the Champions League, while they are six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's side are also in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup and have progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup. Those stats are even more impressive when taking into account Arsenal are doing it all without a free-scoring forward."
"Arsenal spent 64m on Gyokeres in the summer but the Swedish international has struggled to replicate the form he showed playing for Sporting in Portugal, where he scored 97 goals in 102 games. It has been disappointing for the 27-year-old whose recent performances have looked like he is severely lacking confidence. In Arsenal's last league game against Liverpool, the forward only had eight touches and failed to take a shot, while he has scored just once from open play in the last 15 games."
Arsenal lead the Premier League by six points while suffering only two defeats and maintaining a perfect Champions League record. The squad also reach the Carabao Cup semi-final and the FA Cup fourth round. Arsenal have scored 40 league goals, with only Manchester City ahead, yet have no regular top-10 scorer; Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyokeres top the club charts with five each. Erling Haaland has 20 league goals this season. Gyokeres, a 64m summer signing, has struggled to replicate his Sporting form and has shown a lack of confidence, while Kai Havertz has returned from long-term injury.
