After enduring a rocky patch over Christmas and New Year, Arsenal have bounced back in style in 2024 by winning all six of their Premier League games to keep themselves right in the title race. What's more, the Gunners have been scoring goals with alarming regularity, having smashed in 15 in their last three league outings this month.
Since returning from their winter break, Arsenal have scored an impressive 25 goals in the six league games they have played. This prolific streak includes dominant victories over West Ham United (6-0), Burnley (5-0), and Newcastle United (4-1).
While Arsenal's scoring rate is remarkable, it falls short of the Premier League's biggest-ever goal rushes. The record for the most goals in a three-match span is held by Manchester City (2021-22) and Chelsea (2009-10), who both scored 17 goals.
In a four-match span, Manchester United (1997-98) holds the record with 20 goals. Manchester City (2017-18) holds the record for the most goals in a five-match span with 24 goals. Additionally, Manchester City (2017-18) also holds the records for the most goals in a six-match span (27 goals) and a seven-match span (30 goals).
Arsenal now have the opportunity to set a new Premier League record for the most goals in a seven-game span. To achieve this, they would need to score six goals against Sheffield United in their next game. Given their current form, it is not out of the realm of possibility.
Arsenal's recent scoring streak has been impressive, but it falls short of the Premier League's all-time goal rushes. However, the Gunners have the chance to make history in their next game. Whether they break the record or not, their scoring prowess has put them in a strong position in the title race.
