Biggest gaps between home and away form: Arsenal are top

Ian Watson

Arsenal suffered their sixth away defeat of the season at Everton on Sunday. They remain fourth – until Monday night, at least – but if Unai Emery could find a way for his side’s form on the road to mirror their fortunes at the Emirates, then a Champions League place could have been tied up already.

The Gunners are the side in the Premier League with the biggest differential between their points per game at home and points per game earned away.

In contrast, Crystal Palace earn a higher number of points per game away from home – the only side in the Premier League to hold such a record. Leicester too have earned one more point on their travels, though Brendan Rodgers’ side have played one game fewer at the King Power.
