Arsenal now appear to be in the market for a left-back in the summer transfer window, and this could lead to a surprise exit. Mikel Arteta has four options now available to him at left-back, in Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Jurrien Timber and Jakub Kiwior. Timber has been injured for nearly the entire season, whilst there are also question marks over Tomiyasu and Zinchenko’s fitness. Zinchenko has also come in for criticism at times in this campaign, whilst Kiwior enjoyed an initial solid run in the team before it became clear that he is more suitable to a role at centre-back. This c ..read more

Arsenal are aiming to break an unwanted streak when they visit Old Trafford to face Manchester United in a crucial title clash. The Gunners have won just once at Man United in the last 18 years, and this win came during a period where fans were not permitted in stadiums. A Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty gave Arsenal a 1-0 win, but this was a far cry from the other challenges they have faced in a full Old Trafford with the pressure of the home crowd. Arsenal’s last win at Man United with a full stadium astonishingly came in the 2006-07 season. A late Emmanuel Adebayor strike secured the thre ..read more

Arsenal are still keeping pace with Manchester City in the Premier League title race, but will need them to drop points if they are to taste glory this season. Man City have a game in hand, and are set to face Fulham before clashes with fellow London teams in Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham. Pep Guardiola’s side drawing even one game would put Arsenal back in the driving seat, with the Gunners set to face Manchester United and Everton in their final two games. Arsenal fans are now hoping that Fulham can pull off an upset at Craven Cottage to help Arsenal win a first title since 2004, and there ..read more

Arsenal are set to face Manchester United in a crucial Premier League clash at Old Trafford, but there are now some injury concerns. The Gunners were enjoying having an entirely fit squad for the first time since 2019 following the return of Jurrien Timber, but they may now be without some key players yet again. Takehiro Tomiyasu missed a training session earlier this week, whilst there have been constant questions over the fitness of Bukayo Saka after some heavy challenges, including a reckless one from Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie in the last game. It now appears that Arsenal are swe ..read more

Arsenal are set to face Manchester United at Old Trafford in a crucial game in the Premier League title race, in what promises to be a heated fixture. It will be the first time the two sides meet since the start of September, which saw Arsenal come from behind to win 3-1 at the Emirates in a dramatic game. Mikel Arteta’s side equalised immediately through Martin Odegaard after Marcus Rashford’s opening goal, but they suffered a scare as Alejandro Garnacho raced through to put United 2-1 up late on. However, his goal was ruled out for a tight offside, and Arsenal went on to win through goals fr ..read more

Arsenal raised eyebrows last summer as they loaned out popular left-back Kieran Tierney to La Liga side Real Sociedad. Although he fell down the pecking order at Arsenal, Tierney was a useful backup and an alternative profile to Oleksandr Zinchenko, and with Jurrien Timber picking up a long-term injury on his Premier League debut, many fans thought that he should have been kept as an option. However, Tierney was keen for a fresh start at Real Sociedad, and looked to get his form back on track. Injuries then derailed his progress again, and his future is unlikely to be in San Sebastian. Tierney ..read more

Arsenal have left Chris Sutton with the BBC pundit’s ‘only question’ ahead of visiting Manchester United amid his brutal prediction for Sunday’s Premier League meeting. The Gunners go to Old Trafford chasing just their second win on the road to the Red Devils in 18 years. A penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in November 2020 gifted Arsenal their only Premier League win at Manchester United since September 2006 behind closed doors. Arsenal have won their past two meetings with the Red Devils after securing a 3-2 win and a 3-1 victory at Emirates Stadium. But Manchester United won 3-1 on the ..read more

Arsenal made a difficult decision to part ways with midfielder Granit Xhaka last season, and he has since thrived at Bayer Leverkusen. Xhaka enjoyed a roller-coaster seven-year spell with Arsenal, having nearly left the club after a fallout with the fanbase under Unai Emery in 2019, before enjoying a rejuvenation under Mikel Arteta. The Switzerland captain was outstanding last year as Arsenal fell just short of the Premier League title, and he had become one of the more popular players within the squad. However, he still decided to leave, and Arsenal cashed in given that he had one year remain ..read more

Mikel Arteta is now weighing up a transfer for a Chelsea target who Arsene Wenger wanted Arsenal to sign in 2017 amid early doubts over the future of a Gunners star. The north London natives have recorded another strong season as they challenge to win the Premier League title. Arteta also took Arsenal to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2010. But the Spaniard still sees scope to further strengthen his team. Arsenal already have the best offence and defence in the Premier League this term with 88 goals scored to 28 conceded. Yet the Emirates Stadium outfit are ..read more

Arsenal are set for a busy transfer window in both signings and sales, and some unpopular decisions may have to be made. Mikel Arteta’s side have challenged for the Premier League in back-to-back seasons, but they will now seek to upgrade their squad with the bit of extra quality they need to get over the line and win major trophies. This could mean some popular players depart, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale set to leave after losing his place to David Raya, and Arteta now has a decision to make over his midfield. Arsenal have been linked with several midfielders including Bruno Guimaraes of N ..read more
