They have actually now seen just two first-half goals scored in their last eight fixtures, compared to 14 after the break.

Similarly, Graham Potter’s team went in goalless at half-time against Arsenal before running out 2-1 winners, and have scored in the opening 45 minutes just twice in 11 fixtures.
