Arsenal midfielder and captain Cesc Fabregas has voiced his concerns over the Gunners’ recent defensive displays, suggesting that there could be problems when their in form attack stops finding the back of the net.

“We do worry about the goals coming to an end. We talk about what will happen if they stop.

“It is great when we are scoring so many goals and we have a threat all over the team, but we know that we have to keep that right the way through.

“There is no point scoring goals like we are until December and then it ends. That will not win the title.

“So the fear that the run will come to an end is keeping us focused because we want to win the title and we know we have to carry on.”

Arsenal currently lead the Premier League in goals scored, but find themselves only fifth best when it comes to preventing goals. With 14 goals conceded already this season, the Gunners have leaked as many goals as Fulham while trailing behind their fellow title contenders Chelsea and Manchester United in defensive displays.

If they keep scoring 4-5-6 a game i don’t think they have too much to worry about if they let 1 or 2 in
