What is happening at the Emirates Stadium?

Arsenal continue to assert their absolute dominance at the Emirates Stadium, turning their home into an impenetrable fortress under Mikel Arteta. The numbers behind it are extraordinary, and they capture just how far the London club have come in recent years.

Football statistics network "Opta" revealed that Arsenal's two-goal lead at home against Coventry City marked the sixtieth time this scenario has played out in the Premier League under the Spanish manager.

Those figures speak to the mental and technical strength of the side. Arsenal won 58 of the previous 59 matches in which they held such a lead at home, drawing one and never losing. It is a record that embodies the meaning of the word "invincible".

Promoted sides fare no better. Arsenal have now stretched their run to 45 consecutive Premier League home matches without defeat against clubs coming up from the lower division.

Opta noted that this comes from 40 wins and 5 draws, the longest unbeaten run of its kind for any team in the competition's history. It confirms Arsenal's absolute dominance at the Emirates against newcomers.

The records do not stop with the team. German star Kai Havertz continues to write his own history in the Gunners' shirt.

Havertz has scored in four consecutive matches as a starter for the first time in his English football career, proof that he is enjoying his best spell since arriving in the Premier League.

His run went like this: a goal against Burnley, a goal against Paris Saint-Germain, a goal against Manchester City, then another against Coventry City. That form has made him one of Arteta's most important attacking weapons this season.
