#1 The Emirates - Arsenal's fortress

It is an open secret that Arsenal is not normal when they play at the Emirates. Beating the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and a revitalised Manchester United in Emery's first season is something the Gooners never thought of. In fact, several pundits even claimed that Arsenal will be lucky to stay in the top 6. Entering the final stage of the season, Arsenal are a point below 3rd placed Tottenham and two points ahead of the Red Devils.

Arsenal have only lost twice at the Emirates this season; once against Man City in the opening day of the league, and later on against United in the FA Cup. In the FA Cup match, one could claim the Gunners lost both Sokratis and Koscienly before the half-time mark, which left them helpless.

Only PSG (14) are having a better winning streak at home than Arsenal (9) in Europe's top five leagues. In Arsenal's last 9 games at home, they have conceded only 6 goals and scored 25; a big reason to worry for Rennes.
