The scores and rankings are determined by six ‘key performance indicators’ – rigour, recovery, distribution, take on, chance, creation and shooting.

The Football Observatory is a research group within the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES), a private foundation affiliated to the University of Neuchâtel, in Switzerland.

Özil was selected as Arsenal Vitality Player of the Month and has provided the highest number of assists for his side since his return from injury.

The World Cup winner has also covered more distance since his return than his teammates.

Arsenal are currently in third place in the Premier League, just one point behind second place Manchester City.
