MSN have been truly exceptional this season, combining to produce arguably the most deadly front three football has ever seen. In the league alone this season they have scored a total of 58 goals in 25 games so far, in the process outscoring 95 of the 97 other teams in Europe's top five leagues, only beaten by Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. You can use the above tool to compare MSN's exploits to those of your team.

Each component is a goal-scoring machine in his own right but turns provider just as regularly and they seem to gain as much pleasure from setting each other up as they do from scoring.

They have 26 assists between them in La Liga - more than 71 of the sides in Europe's major leagues.

Only 10 whole squads have hit the target more times than Messi, Suarez and Neymar's 135, but the trio rank way down for total shots attempted.

The result is that they have shot conversion and shooting accuracy rates that are unrivalled across the continent.

In all competitions this season, they have combined to score 91 goals and provide a further 43 assists. By way of comparison, their nearest challenger from England in this regard is Manchester City, who have 85 goals. And Messi missed 10 consecutive matches through injury.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are some distance behind. Their players have scored 61 goals in competitive games this season, the fifth-most of all Premier League sides. You could take away all of Messi's 27 goals and Suarez and Neymar have still scored more goals than Arsene Wenger's whole team.

The side of the task facing Arsenal cannot be underestimated; they would have to have one hell of a night to stop any one of the MSN. Preventing all three from scoring at the same time is another matter entirely.
