Arsenal secured a 0-0 draw against Atalanta despite a below par performance. The two sides played out an appalling first half in Bergamo where a free kick from Bukayo Saka and a skied effort from Gabriel Martinelli were the only real highlights. Things sparked into life almost immediately in the second period though as Thomas Partey was…

Arsenal 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri made his first senior appearance of the new season as a substitute against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, coming on late to help secure a 1-0 win. It was a positive cameo from the youngster, and Mikel Arteta has rewarded him with another call-up to Thursday’s Champions League squad away to Atalanta. It’s not…

The Gunners were dealt an almighty blow on Wednesday when captain Martin Odegaard was ruled out for “a while” with an ankle injury. But on Thursday, there was plenty of reason for celebration.

Viktor Gyokeres’ name continues to be on everyone’s lips after his outstanding Champions League debut against Lille this week. It only took the Swedish striker 38 minutes to score the opening goal at Estadio Jose de Alvalade as Sporting went on to win 2-0. Perhaps it’s no surprise after his astonishing numbers in Portugal after completing the £20m…

We might only be entering the fifth gameweek of the season but, given how recent campaigns have played out, there’s reason to suggest it’s already crunch time for Arsenal and Manchester City. The two heavyweights of the past few seasons are the leading contenders to win the title this time around and the winner of…

This list consists of up to 25 first-team regulars like; Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and David Raya. However, Arteta is also able to submit a B List closer to…

Defensively Arsenal were sublime against Tottenham in the North London Derby last weekend. That should come as no surprise really, given the Gunners defensive record in the past year. Arsenal had the best defence in the Premier League in 2023/24, conceding just 29 goals in their 38 matches. They did not concede a goal in two matches against Manchester City,…
