Arsenal (W8 D2) are the first team to remain unbeaten in London derbies in the Premier League across a full calendar year since Chelsea in 2005. It is also the first time the Gunners have achieved this record since 2004.

Mikel Arteta’s side have scored five or more goals in six different away games in all competitions in 2024, the most ever by an English top-flight club in a single calendar year.

Gabriel Jesus has scored five goals in his last two games for Arsenal in all competitions, as many as he had in his previous 45 appearances for the Gunners, with all of them coming against Crystal Palace this week.

The forward also extended his competition record of never losing when scoring in a Premier League game to 61 games (W56 D5).
