Arsenal on course for record Prem points tally with predicted final table revealed if they continue at same rate

ARSENAL are on course for a club record Premier League points tally come the end of the season.

The Gunners have dropped just five points after 12 matches, winning 10, drawing one and losing one.

Mikel Arteta’s men sit two points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s defending champions Manchester City with just a fortnight to go until the domestic campaign pauses for the World Cup.

And if Arsenal can keep this form up for the rest of the season, it has been revealed that they would register their highest EVER points tally in the Premier League – a breathtaking 99.

The north London outfit’s record since the inception of the competition in 1992 stands at 90 – which they achieved during their Invincibles season of 2003/04.

But during that campaign they actually drew 12 of their 38 matches, meaning their overall points total was lower than the unbeaten record would initially suggest.

Arteta’s men are currently outperforming that legendary Arsene Wenger side as they bid to secure a first title in 18 years.

The projected points totals show that Man City are on course to finish on 92 – seven adrift of Arsenal and one fewer than last season.

Then come Tottenham in third place, albeit a huge 23 points adrift of their north London rivals.

Manchester United and Newcastle round out the top five as the only other teams predicted to reach the 70-point mark, with Chelsea in sixth on 67.

Then there is a 10-point gap to Brighton in seventh on 57 points, with Fulham a further two adrift.

Liverpool, after winning just four of their opening 12 league games, come next in ninth on a thoroughly disappointing 51.

And Crystal Palace round out the top half with the same projected points tally as Jurgen Klopp’s men.
