Morning all. Arsenal are in Premier League action this evening, facing Bournemouth away from home, and with the opportunity to extend our lead at the top of the Premier League table. Mikel Arteta was vague on Declan Rice’s availability, saying the swelling hadn’t gone down on his knee yet, and with Liverpool on the horizon […]

My slightly lukewarm take is that the Arsenal squad is currently too big. I strongly suspect that the club probably know this on some level but have heavily stacked their deck for this season because they are making a bet on winning one of the big trophies.

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal ended Aston Villa’s winning run, and extended the lead at the top of the table after a thumping 4-1 win over Unai Emery’s yesterday evening. Without Declan Rice, who picked up a knee injury in the game against Brighton, Mikel Arteta was able to […]
