We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Ranked 1st in goals scored per match (2.5 goals), Arsenal have kept the most number of clean sheets in the competition (11). This means that they have been extremely strong in defence. At the same time, quite coincidentally, they have been awarded the most penalties this season (8).
