After the 7-1 win, Arsenal can look forward to the match with complete confidence. The visitors have nothing left to win and nothing to lose. Arsenal have the best defensive record in the Premier League. They are currently in second place, eight points ahead of the pursuers. However, Arteta's team haven't won in three league matches. A 0-1 defeat against West Ham was followed by a 0-0 draw against closest rivals Nottingham and a 1-1 draw at Manchester United. PSV lost momentum in February and has only managed two competitive wins since the beginning of the month. In addition to the 3-1 win against Juventus, they managed a 2-1 win against Heerenveen in the league at the weekend. Due to the many poor results Ajax has now pulled away in the Eredivisie. The gap has grown to eight points. With 75 scored goals, PSV has by far the best offense, but is struggling much more at the back. Against the Gunners in fact, PSV has only scored one goal in five away games in London. The statistics should look a little better after Wednesday. |
