Wen will it end?

Arsenal’s 4-0 loss away to Liverpool is nothing new… the Gunners have won just TWO of their last 21 games away to a top six side

Arsene Wenger has led his side to 13 losses and six draws in that period, while conceding an incredible 52 goals in that span

ARSENAL were utterly destroyed by a rampant Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon with little more than a whimper.

The North Londoners looked hopelessly outgunned and for the most part, hardly even bothered.

Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Daniel Sturridge left Liverpool fans purring, as a scintillating attacking display left Arsene Wenger shellshocked.

Many were surprised by the comprehensive nature of the victory for Jurgen Klopp's Reds... but it's hardly a shock based on Arsenal's recent history.

Since the 2013-14 season, away from home against fellow top six clubs, the Gunners have won just TWO matches... from 21 attempts.

When travelling to Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea or North London rivals Tottenham, Arsenal have lost an incredible 13 times.

A further six draws have come from that run, with Wenger's men scoring 24 goals - at just over one goal per game - while conceding a staggering 52 times (2.5 goals per game).

All in all, Arsenal have picked up an incredibly poor 12 points from 21 games away to fellow top six clubs - good enough for the worst record of the sextet.

Tottenham have also picked up just 12 points, but have done so with a "game in hand" over Arsenal... although both show off an appalling -28 goal difference.

At the other end of the table Chelsea come out on top with 28 points from 21 games.

Although, Liverpool could overtake them, as they have 27 points from just 20 games.

 Arsenal have the worst points per game record of any top six club against a fellow top six outfit on the road in the Premier League since 2013-14

Jurgen Klopp's Reds are the only team of the six to boast a positive goal difference, as yesterday's win boosted them from 0 to +4.

Man City have picked up a point a game from the fixtures, with 20 from their 20 games, while cross-town rivals United have earned just 18 from 20.
