- Opta released a Premier League team of the season based on data collected throughout the campaign.
- Raya finished the season with 19 clean sheets – four more than any other goalkeeper – matching the joint‑record for an Arsenal keeper and delivering a decisive save against West Ham in the final five games.
- Nunes started 32 matches for Manchester City, logging 2,865 minutes, and the team won 66% of games he started versus 33% without him, while he completed the most passes in the opposition half (1,153) among all players.
- Gabriel recorded seven goal involvements (three goals, four assists) – the most by any defender – and kept 17 clean sheets, with Arsenal conceding only 20 goals (one every 138 minutes) when he was on the pitch.
Why it matters: Arsenal's 19 clean‑sheet record and Gabriel's set‑piece contributions give them a statistical edge ahead of the title‑deciding clash with Manchester United, while rivals lose ground as the points gap widens.
