* Arsenal have now thrown away 13 points from winning positions this season. Surprisingly, Manchester United have thrown away 14. * But the Gunners have thrown away seven points from games which they have been winning my two goals or more. Only Blackpool can equal that embarrassing record. * Comeback kings Tottenham have picked up a massive 22 points from losing positions this season. * Robin van Persie has scored 20 goals in his last 23 games in all competitions for club and country. * He has produced more Premier League shots on target this season (33) than any other Arsenal player despite starting only 14 games. * Rafael van der Vaart tops Tottenham's list with 34 shots on target in 23 league games. * Supposedly gung-ho Tottenham have actually scored fewer goals this season than Manchester City. * Arsenal have produced more shots on target (216) than any other club this season. Title rivals Chelsea and Manchester United have managed 210 and 189 respecticely. * The shot count in Tottenham-Arsenal was 17-15 while the shots-on-target count was 9-7 in favour of the home side. * Player of the Year Gareth Bale was involved in eight duels (five on the floor, three in the air) in his 45 minutes on the pitch and never emerged with the ball. * Rafael van der Vaart was involved in nine duels (all on the floor) in his 90 minutes on the pitch and won six of the seven tackles he made. * Peter Crouch found a teammate with only one of his eight attempts in and around the Arsenal penalty area. * Samir Nasri has the best pass completion rate on the pitch with 95% of his attempts finding a teammate. * All six of Arsenal's corners at White Hart Lane were met by Tottenham players. * Only two of Wojciech Szczesny's 26 goal-kicks/free-kicks/clearances into the Tottenham half were actually won by Arsenal players. * Arsenal are now unbeaten in 16 Premier League games - their best run since 2008/2009. * Cesc Fabregas has been credited with 12 assists this season by the Premier League (unlike Opta, they count 'penalties won' as assists). * Only Nani and Didier Drogba have been credited with more Premier League assists than Fabregas this season, while Player of the Year nominee Samir Nasri has been credited with only one assist. * Only Kevin Davies and Cheik Tioté have conceded more fouls than Alex Song in the Premier League this season but Song has picked up only five yellow cards. * Arsenal have three players in the top ten 'successful passes' chart - Song, Gael Clichy and Jack Wilshere. Tottenham's Luka Modric is in 11th. * The north London derby has produced 60 goals in the last 15 games. Even the least mathematically-minded among you can deduce that's an average of four goals per game.

Samir Nasri's goal was just Arsenal's fourth from outside the penalty area in the Premier League this season. Last season they scored 18.Outside box goal: Fabregas fluke v Sunderland, Chamakh's 2nd v Wolves, RVP free kick v Birmingam & Nasri last night. None at home.7% of Arsenal's goal haul is from outside the box, compared to 12% for the Premier League as a whole & 22% last season for the Gunners.Arsenal have conceded 5 penalties in @53Szczesny53's 10 PL games & 4 of last 8 PL goals he's conceded were pens. 10 conceded in 10 overall.
