Morning all. It’s a Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge this evening, and while Mikel Arteta has plenty of options in midfield and up front, at the back we’re more or less down to bare bones. William Saliba is a doubt, according to the manager, having missed out on the FA Cup win […]

Morning. The draw for the 4th round of the FA Cup took place last night, and our reward for beating Portsmouth is a home tie against Wigan Athletic. The last time we played them was in this very competition, in April 2014 when we were within 10 minutes or so of going out, a defeat […]

There’s plenty of scope for Mikel Arteta to rotate his side, except at the back where injuries to Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera leave us a bit short. I expect Myles Lewis-Skelly to come in […]

Morning all. A quick Saturday round-up for you, starting with the news that dropped yesterday via David Ornstein that Bukayo Saka has agreed a new long-term deal with the club. It’s obvious to say that’s fantastic, he’s basically last contractual issue we have to deal with for a while, and tying him down to a […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back at Thursday’s frustrating 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Arsenal failed to live up to expectations but still extended their lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners had the best of the first half, […]

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction  It’s perhaps lost in the frustration of last night that Arsenal once again extended our lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 0-0 draw against Liverpool. The lead just isn’t as big as we had all hoped going into this game. After City’s […]
