After an eventful weekend, Arsenal can turn their action to the Carabao Cup when they take on Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday night. The Gunners came so close to a historic result against Manchester City on Sunday before John Stones’ last gasp equaliser. The drama did not end there, though. Erling Haaland collided with Thomas Partey…

Former England goalkeeper Ben Foster has now made a bold statement about Arsenal shot-stopper David Raya.  David Raya played a key role for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta’s side earned a 2-2 draw against Manchester City on Sunday. The Gunners were forced to adopt extremely defensive tactics in the second half following the sending off of Leandro Trossard just prior to…

There were fractious scenes at the end of Arsenal’s recent draw against Manchester City.

However, injuries and inconsistencies have curtailed the 24-year-old’s impact, who has now returned…

If there has been one criticism of Mikel Arteta at Arsenal since he was appointed in 2019, it’s that he hasn’t necessarily made the most of the Hale End Academy. Talents like Charlie Patino and Omari Hutchinson were never handed sufficient chances to succeed at Arsenal, and both are now attempting to realise their potential elsewhere….

Mikel Arteta’s recent actions as Arsenal manager have proved controversial in some quarters.  Mikel Arteta had plenty of challenges to overcome throughout Arsenal’s recent clash with Manchester City.
