Mikel Arteta insisted that Arsenal faced the Premier League's best attack in Chelsea on Sunday despite Enzo Maresca's team barely threatening. But did Arteta have a point?
Following Arsenal's victory over Chelsea, Mikel Arteta claimed Arsenal had silenced the Premier League's best attack "by a mile." Despite Chelsea's poor performance in the match, Arteta cited data suggesting Chelsea's attack ranks second to Liverpool in expected goals and assists for the season. However, Chelsea is underperforming these metrics, and their attacking prowess has declined recently, especially with players like Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer missing big chances.
