Former Scotland striker Ally McCoist was baffled by something one Arsenal star did in the first half against Chelsea on Tuesday evening.  Arsenal got off to a flying start when they welcomed Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners knew that they needed to win this match in order to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table, and Leandro Trossard duly fired them ahead from a tight angle with just four minutes on the clock. However, with the Blues posing a real threat on the counter-attack, Mikel Arteta will have wanted to see his side build on their lead as ruthlessly as ..read more

Former winger Robert Pires has now revealed what Thierry Henry was really like behind the scenes at Arsenal. Robert Pires and Thierry Henry are both Arsenal legends. The pair were important elements of the Gunners’ attacking contingent during the most successful period in the North London club’s recent history. Pires and Henry were both key figures throughout the 2003/04 campaign, when Arsenal won the Premier League title without losing a single game in the top flight of English football. That side were subsequently dubbed the Invincibles, and their achievement remains unmatched in English foo ..read more

Arsenal fans are all saying the same thing about Gabriel Martinelli after Jurrien Timber returned to action with the U21s on Monday. The Dutchman has had a torrid debut season at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal signed Timber from Ajax last summer, and even though the arrivals of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz made more noise, everyone knew how important the defender was going to be. However, Timber suffered a serious knee injury on his Premier League debut against Nottingham Forest on the opening day of the season, and he hasn’t played a senior game since.

There’s a few different directions Arsenal could go in when it comes to recruiting players to improve Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer. First of all, Edu Gaspar could target a new striker, someone who is known for the consistency of their goalscoring, a ‘proper’ number nine. Photo by Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Getty Images The scenario would likely see one of Dusan Vlahovic or Viktor Gyokeres arrive, strikers the club have followed for a long while. Alternatively, Arsenal could recruit a winger to add goals, someone who can provide long-term competition for Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo ..read more

Arsenal are in the market for players in several positions this summer, with the expectation that a number of first-teamers could depart. One player who looks likely to make a big exit is goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who has lost his place to David Raya. The 25-year-old will be aiming to join a club where he can play regularly, but Arsenal are likely to demand a big fee for him given his status as an England International on a long-term contract. Should Ramsdale leave, he would need to be replaced by a goalkeeper who can provide strong competition for Raya, but who may have to accept a place on ..read more

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is now widely regarded as one of the best coaches in the Premier League, but it took a long time for his work to be recognised. Arteta has succeeded in the first managerial job of his career, taking over an Arsenal side in crisis, and rebuilding them into a young squad competing for the Premier League title. However, it took a while for fans and pundits to recognise the job he was doing, after some tough years in which he faced huge pressure to keep his job. The Spaniard’s reputation in England improved after he helped Arsenal quickly improve from mid-table finishe ..read more

Arsenal are set to face Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium tonight, in a clash which could see The Gunners temporarily move three points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Mykhalyo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo nearly joined Arsenal before moving to Stamford Bridge, whilst Kai Havert ..read more

One Arsenal star has now opened up about how his on-field connection with one of his teammates has improved this season. There are a number of effective partnerships in this Arsenal team. Ben White and Bukayo Saka regularly combine well on the right flank, whilst Jorginho and Declan Rice have formed an effective double pivot in the middle of the park. On top of that, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard have been able to dovetail successfully in the final third before.  The most established, and important, partnership in the Arsenal team, though, is that shared by Gabriel Magalhaes and Willia ..read more

The latest Arsenal injury news ahead of the Gunners hosting Chelsea in the Premier League on Tuesday as Mikel Arteta gives an update on the fitness of Jurrien Timber. Mauricio Pochettino will bring his Blues side over from west to north London for a midweek derby.

Arsenal can also improve their spot at the top of the table with any points against Chelsea. A 2-0 win away to Wolves last Saturday returned the Gunners to fir ..read more

Arsenal legend David O’Leary has now provided his insight into the current state of the Premier League title race.  Arsenal are currently in the heat of a Premier League tittle race. As things stand, the Gunners are sat at the top of the table with five games left to play. However, the title race is not in the North London club’s hands, as Manchester City are just one point behind them and hold a game in hand. Liverpool are also still very much in the hunt.  In order to stand any chance of being crowned champions, Mikel Arteta’s side must surely win all of their remaining matches, st ..read more
