Manchester City midfielder Rodri is expected to spend a significant period of time on the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury against Arsenal on Sunday. It was a strange incident in the match at the Etihad as a seemingly innocuous coming together between the Spaniard and Thomas Partey left the City star on the ground. He was clearly in a lot of pain and while his club is yet to confirm how bad the injury is, initial reports suggest it is serious and he could miss the rest of the season. Rodri’s importance to Pep Guardiola’s side has long…

Federico Chiesa is able to start for Liverpool against West Ham on Wednesday night, but Alisson Becker will not be involved. The summer signing from Juventus is building up his fitness after moving to Anfield late in the transfer window and not having much of a pre-season. The Italy international has made just two brief substitute appearances so far for the Reds and manager Arne Slot says he is still not ready to play a full 90 minutes, however, he is ready to start in the Carabao Cup clash with the Hammers. ‘I don’t think he’s able to play 90…

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta intervened to ensure Leandro Trossard remained at the club amid strong interest from the Saudi Pro League in the summer. Trossard completed a £20million move from Brighton to Arsenal in January 2023 and has gone on to score 19 goals in 74 appearances for the Gunners. The Belgium international – who was shown a controversial red card in Sunday’s 2-2 thriller at Manchester City – has had to play second fiddle to Gabriel Martinelli for much of his stay in north London. And while Arteta has often used Trossard to great effect as an impact…

Martin Keown claims Erling Haaland has rendered himself Arsenal’s ‘personal enemy’ following his controversial antics during Sunday’s Premier League blockbuster. The Norway international failed to score in three games against the Gunners last season and was determined to set the record straight up against Arsenal’s defensive towers of power Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba. As it transpired, Haaland took just eight minutes to break the deadlock with a typically accomplished finish that represented his 100th goal in City colours. Haaland’s influence on the second half was minimal, however, as Arsenal sat resolutely in a low block that came within seconds…

Mikel Arteta could not confirm whether David Raya will be fit for Arsenal’s Carabao Cup clash with Bolton on Wednesday, with a rookie goalkeeper needing to step in if he is unavailable. Raya was seen limping after the 2-2 draw at Manchester City on Sunday and is a doubt for the meeting with Bolton at the Emirates. Neto is Arsenal’s back-up stopper but he is cup-tied after signing from Bournemouth, leaving Arteta short of options in goal. 18-year-old Tommy Setford would be next in line but has been struggling with injury, meaning 16-year-old Jack Porter could get the nod after…

Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have become masters of the ‘dark arts’ of football, as clearly evidenced during their 2-2 draw at Manchester City. After Leandro Trossard’s sending off, the Gunners parked the bus and resorted to every time-wasting trick in the book in order to hang on to their lead. It nearly worked, only for John Stones’ 98th minute equaliser to see the points shared. Arsenal’s tactics have divided option, with their heroic defending almost universally praised, but the time-wasting left some – mainly City’s players – very unimpressed. This was also the second game this season where an Arsenal…

Jason Cundy has labelled Ian Wright ‘one of the biggest s***houses out there’ after the Arsenal icon slammed Erling Haaland’s behaviour during Sunday’s 2-2 thriller at the Etihad. Haaland, who had earlier broken the deadlock, was seen throwing the ball at the back of Gabriel Magalhaes’ head in the immediate aftermath of John Stones’ dramatic stoppage-time equaliser. Tensions boiled throughout the heavyweight Premier League contest and Haaland was later overheard telling Mikel Arteta to ‘stay humble’ as the two teams clashed at the full-time whistle. Unsurprisingly, Haaland’s antics did not go down too well with Arsenal supporters and club legend…
