Report: Arsenal on pace to challenge Premier League records this season

Arsenal could be on course to break several long-standing Premier League records this season, according to a Football365 report. The outlet framed the projection around the assumption that Mikel Arteta's side will win the title, noting the club's strong start and the struggles of usual challengers.

The report said Arsenal have 15 goals from 10 games, a rate of 1.5 per match, and have conceded five, three of them against Brighton. It cited a points-per-game projection in which Arsenal would finish on 103 points, equalling the 19-point title-winning margin set by Manchester City in 2017/18.

Among the records discussed were the fewest goals conceded in a season, held by Jose Mourinho's 2004/05 Chelsea with 15, and the fewest goals scored by a champion, 67 by Manchester United in 1992/93. The report also raised the fewest goals by a champion's top scorer, currently 13, shared by Frank Lampard in 2004/05 and Ilkay Gundogan in 2020/21.

Football365 further noted Arsenal already have four 1-0 wins this season, against a record of 11 set by Chelsea in 2004/05. The report is a projection rather than official confirmation, and the records depend on results across the remainder of the campaign.
