arsene-wengerArsenal face a huge task to stop Barcelona in the Champions League tonight at the Emirates but, as the infographic below by leading fantasy football site Football Fanager shows, the Gunners actually create more chances than the La Liga champions, which will give the Arsenal faithful some hope of coming out of this game with a positive result.

Incredibly, Arsene Wenger’s side have produced 12.6 chances across each game in the Premier League so far this season, compared to Barcelona’s 11.4. Arsenal also take more shots in the box, win more aerial duels and make more key passes than the La Liga’s table-toppers.

Lionel Messi and co. are on an unrelenting 32-game unbeaten run and have lost just once to Arsenal in seven meetings.

Can Wenger’s men replicate their creative touch and overcome the Catalonians at the Emirates tonight, or will Messi and co. produce yet another masterclass against the Gunners?
