Arsenal pride themselves in their tremendous build-up play and patience on the ball but the latest statistics suggest a change in playing style should be considered, as the Gunners are deadly in one particular aspect.With Olivier Giroud in their side, Arsenal were always going to be dangerous with headers but their clinical nature in front of goal in this particular aspect beggars belief, as the conversion rate of Arsene Wenger’s side is remarkable.

Scoring 11 headed goals from just 15 efforts on target in the Premier League this season, a quarter of Arsenal’s 44 goals in the division so far this season have come via this route.

As the second-highest scorers in the Premier League this season, behind only Liverpool (48), Arsenal’s attack has been on-song and their numbers could increase further if Arsenal look to take advantage of their stunning record in the air.

If Olivier Giroud stays leading the line, then you can expect Arsenal’s ratio of headed goals to keep rising.
