Arsenal face a huge task to stop a rampaging Barcelona side in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
The odds are against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium after winning just once in seven attempts against the Catalans.
But Arsene Wenger’s team could stun the defending champions of Europe if recent stats is anything to go by.
According to leading fantasy site, Football Fanger, the English side are superior to their Spanish counterparts when it comes to chances created per match.
Incredibly, the Londoners have produced 12.6 chances across each game in the league this season, compared to Barcelona’s 11.4.
Furthermore, Arsenal, who are looking to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2010, also take more shots in the box, win more aerial duels and make more key passes than the La Liga’s table-toppers.
Lionel Messi and company are on an unrelenting 32-game unbeaten run, and have won four and drawn twice against Arsenal.
Barcelona have scored a total of 67 games in the league this season, compared to Arsenal’s tally of 41.
The Spanish side also have a slightly higher pass-completion rate of 86 per cent, compared to Arsenal’s 85.
Can Arsene Wenger’s men replicate their creative touch and overcome the Catalonians at The Emirates?
