Mikel Arteta’s team have had a painful start to 2025 and are now facing challenges in three competitionsSign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson hereFor Arsenal, the pattern was all too familiar. They won the xG against Manchester United on Sunday, depending which model you prefer, by around 3.5 to 0.5, but they drew the game 1-1 and with a certain inevitability, lost on penalties. The previous Tuesday, in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, they’d won the xG 3.1-1.2 but lost 2-0 to Newcastle.
