The expectation for 130-goal 2018/19 season will be:
The STRIKERS are Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Danny Welbeck, Alex Iwobi and Eddie Nketiah.
STRIKERS contributed ..... 57.14% out of 65% expectation … 20 out of 84 goals expectation.
MIDFIELD contributed ...... 28.57% out of 25% expectation … 10 out of 33 goals expectation.
DEFENDER contributed ….. 8.57% out of 07% expectation ….. 3 out of 09 goals expectation.
"Dubious goal"...................... 5.71% out of 03% expectation ….. 2 out of 04 goals expectation.
We are in Top-4 now. STRIKERS must continue scoring at least every other game.
Maximum no. of games predicted = 38 + (6+6) Europa Cup + 8 Tin Cup + 2 FA Cup = 60 games.
….. 0 goals scored = 0.00 goals per game after playing FA Cup Round #3.
….. 3 goals scored = 3.00 goals per game after playing 1 League Cup games.
….. 8 goals scored = 2.67 goals per game after playing 3 Europa Cup games.
… 24 goals scored = 2.40 goals per game after playing 10 League games.
… 35 goals scored = 2.50 goals per game after playing 14 total games; or 150 goals after playing 60 games.
Mkhitaryan scored the first league goal of the season.
Aaron Ramsey is latest 14th goal scorer.
9th goal scorer – Xhaka
10th goal scorer – Ozil
11th goal scorer – Sokratis
12th goal scorer – Smith-Rowe
13th goal scorer – Guendouzi

Arsenal results against Top-6 teams are inferior and why we are not Top-4 contender.
We had already lost 2 games, beat Everton and unlikely to match 2013/14 to 2015/16 results.
Below tabulation indicated that we are inferior to the Top-5 teams for the past 5 years.

Look more and more likely that it will be ManU and Tiny Totts that will miss out Top-4 Finish.
Table B indicated that winning a Top-4 spots depends very much on the ability of teams to collect maximum points against Bottom-13 teams.

We have a good 1st quarter, attained Top-4.
2nd quarter will be the making of Unai Emery if he overcome the November Blip Curse and “Horrendous Injury List” during the wintry months – the bane of Arsene Wenger latter half regime.
"The idea is to be more unpredictable every year and be more difficult for the opponents to stop and nullify what we want to do. That’s what we have now, especially at the back and in the midfield the options we have, to open up the spaces, we have many more options than we had last year.” Mikel Arteta
