10 Key Stats Ahead Of Newcastle United Vs Arsenal

20.3 - Average Shots Per Game For Arsenal In The Premier League In 2015-16, The Most In The Division

Arsenal have scored just twice in their opening three Premier League fixtures of 2015-16, yet they have averaged the highest number of shots per game so far this season with 20.3. Swansea City (18.7 per game) and Norwich City (18.3 per match) are second and third respectively, while Newcastle are way down the list, averaging just 6.7 per fixture so far. Another statistic Arsenal are unsurprisingly leading the way in this season so far is possession, with the Gunners averaging 62.2% so far. The Magpies, meanwhile, have averaged just 41% possession, meaning they have held on to the ball for little more than two-fifths of their three league games during this campaign to date.
