Week 21

The Premier League currently has 5 London teams in it and whilst their over all goal scoring records are pretty close to what you might expect them to be, last week the tables were turned on their heads.

Here are the number of goals scored by each of the London sides:

Tottenham - 41
Chelsea - 40
Arsenal - 39
Fulham - 28
QPR - 22

Last weeks results produced a bit of a surprise though, here are the number of goals scored by the London teams last week:

Fulham - 5
QPR - 3
Tottenham - 2
Arsenal - 1
Chelsea - 0

Fulham were the pick of the bunch last week as they smashed 5 past a usually solid Newcastle defence and whilst you may be scratching your head trying to figure out when they last time they scored 5 in a game was, you don't have to go back that far, they put 6 past QPR at The Cottage earlier in the season though those are the only two games in which Jol's mean have scored more than 2 goals all season.

This week's game against West Brom may produce the opportunity for further goals, The Baggies keep very few clean sheets (in fact 1 in the last 13) so there may be a possibility for Fulham to get more than 2 goals in a game for only the 3rd time this season.

This week the London teams have all avoided top 4 opposition and there may well be a chance for each of them to grab a few goals to help their causes. Though you may want to avoid expecting too much from Chelsea as Swansea should provide a stern test for the Blues who are lacking goals at the moment.
