THE Premier League luck table has been revealed – with Arsenal getting the rub of the green.
The title-chasing Gunners have been on the wrong end of a number of decisions so far this season.
That includes a now rescinded red card for Myles Lewis-Skelly against Wolves last weekend.
However, new stats by analysts at OLBG appear to show Mikel Arteta’s side haven’t been as unlucky as they think in the Premier League.
A mix of minimal defensive errors and moderate VAR outcomes see Arsenal third in the table.
They’ve not conceded an error leading to a goal all season, and score a number of them.

However, they have had seven injuries this campaign, to key players such as Bukayo Saka.
Meanwhile, Manchester United and Chelsea are having very little when it comes to luck.
They’ve had a mixture of injuries, VAR decision against them, and a staggering NINE errors leading to goals.
Ruben Amorim’s side haven’t had VAR on their side much, and struggled to bag late on.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are in the same boat, with five decisions for and against through VAR.
They’ve also had the same amount of injuries and late goals scored.
The Blues have conceded eight times between the 81-90 minute in the Premier League, as well.
The table – which is solely based off stats – shows Newcastle are the luckiest side ahead of Gameweek 24.
Southampton, who are bottom of the real Prem, are the unluckiest, with 17 goals against them from errors.
The Saints have also had a tough time stopping late goals, with 11 against them in the final ten.
