Arteta on Gabriel Jesus citing knee surgery needs: 'To play without pain in elite sport is very difficult'

Arsenal actually boast the best displicainarly record in the Premier League, with only 46 yellow cards dished out to their players in 2023/24 – the lowest of any club in the competition.

Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres has turned down a move to Stamford Bridge and has made Arsenal ‘his first-choice club’ to join this summer.

The stumbling block for the Gunners, however, is Sporting Lisobon’s demands.

The Portuguese giants are demanding €80 million (£68.4m).

Asked whether Arsenal can win the title, Tierney responded:

I think they can. They’re in a better position than last year & they’ve got more experience than last year.

I think their whole game has developed so much as well. Defensively they are solid, they don’t give much away.

Premier League will use semi-automated offside technology next season.

The system typically requires 12 cameras inside a stadium which track the ball and 29 data points on each player.

3D automated images will be shown on giant screens at stadiums.

Harry Kane has praised Gabriel Jesus for giving Arsenal a ‘really dangerous’ outlet against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Trossard:

When you are 2-1 down at half-time you will take point at the end

We started so well. We could have scored 2 or3 goals after taking the lead. You can see what kind of quality Bayern have to hurt us

Luckily I helped the team with a goal. Hopefully I can help next week

A huge 90 minutes coming up in Munich in eight days time.

We can still win. Don't give up!

FT: Arsenal 2-2 Bayern Munich

Thank you Trossard for the goal

Thank you Gabriel Jesus for the assist

Arteta will have plenty to say to our players.

A big second half is sorely needed.

Bukayo Saka

Directly involved in eight goals in eight appearances in the UEFA Champions League this season (four goals, four assists), the most of any Arsenal player.

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

SAKA

Ian Wright gets a warm ovation as he is introduced by the stadium announcer

'This team have given me no reason not to feel confident,' he says.

He finishes with a message to the players and the fans: 'Enjoy it. Enjoy every moment because we're on a journey.'

Come on Arsenal

Rice, Havertz must avoid bookings.

They would miss the second leg through suspension if they receive yellow cards at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta is now looking to mastermind a route past Bayern Munich, who have caused the Gunners plenty of heartache in the past.

Odegaard:

We will have the whole stadium, so hopefully that can make a big difference in our favour, & it’s up to us to take full advantage. We know you’ll be bringing the noise & making the whole stadium red because big games like this are what everyone wants to be involved in.

Any Arsenal fans walking to the Emirates Stadium via Hornsey Road may spot a new Mikel Arteta mural on their way.

A victory tonight would make him even more popular among the locals.
