Ahead of this weekend’s clash at Turf Moor, we’ve calculated Albion and their top-flight rivals’ current shots-per-goal ratio.
This comes courtesy of data from Wyscout, which has allowed us to work out how many shots it takes Graham Potter’s men on average before they find the back of the net.
We divided the number of shots each club has registered in the league by the number of goals they have scored so far this season.
And it’s safe to say – it’s grim viewing for the Seagulls:
13. 13th - Arsenal - 9.1
