Arsenal: Head to Head

Arsenal: Head to Head reveals for the first time how the Gunners have fared against every club they’ve ever played, in any competition, since the club entered the Football League. From Ashford United to York City, Arsenal’s complete record of matches against each club is looked at in detail and illustrated with pictures. Also included is a table of players who’ve played for both clubs and a ‘fact file’ highlighting the most surprising nuggets to be gleaned from this fresh way of interpreting the club’s statistics.

Did you know that of all the 116 teams that Arsenal have ever played, Tranmere are the only one against whom they have never scored? That Arsenal’s biggest-ever win in the FA Cup came in an 1893 12–0 victory over non-league Ashford? Or that Ian Wright is the only Gunner to have scored three hat-tricks against the same opposition (Southampton). All these facts and figures, along with countless others, are easily accessible in Arsenal: Head to Head.
