5 Reasons Why Arsenal Will Retain The FA Cup

Goals Galore

When looking at the Premier League statistics, the Gunners have put away 63 goals, the third highest in the table, and conceded just 32 in as many games.

Aston Villa on the other hand have scored just 24 goals, and conceded nearly twice as many with 45 going in at the wrong end of the pitch.

Christian Benteke tops the goalscoring charts at Villa with 10 goals in all competitions, and without the Belgian it could look like a very different story for Tim Sherwood’s side.

But when we turn our attention to Arsenal, the man in-form is Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean has 22 goals in all competitions, and his brace in the semi-final ultimately sent the Gunners through to the final.

When Arsenal took on Villa back in February, they bullied their way to putting five passed veteran goalkeeper, Shay Given.

The Irishman will know the threat that Arsenal pose, and his performance against Liverpool was one of a leader. It’s Given that these Arsenal players need to be wary of, as he is the man who has ultimately kept them out of a late relegation battle.
