Statistics website soccerstats.com reveals that more than 25 per cent of the goals scored this campaign have come after the 76th minute, many arriving deep into the lengthy periods of stoppage time that have become a feature of the season. Certain clubs have clearly worked on their attacking effectiveness too, none more so than Wolverhampton Wanderers whose average per game of 1.5 is an 84 per cent rise on last season.

With a three-way title race reaching its climax, Arsenal's goalscoring prowess could give them the edge.
