It’s interesting to see just how ineffective Liverpool were threatening Arsenal’s box here. They picked up a ton of possession in the second half against Arsenal but it was often very defensive type possession.

It was another less than stellar outing from Gyokeres and we still didn't see Kai on the bench (hopefully this weekend) and that puts even more pressure on what is to come in these next few months - Arsenal’s Striker Crossroads www.cannonstats.com/p/arsenals-s...

I’m watching the game back and this really doesn’t matter but time keeping stuff always bugs me. First half, 2 minutes announced. First 53 seconds go to Mac Allister “injury” after a hand ball.

Viktor Gyökeres - Goal and Shot Production for a 'successful' season

I committed to doing this every week so I don't want to stop but it kind of feels like it is a piling on here. I never want to see a player at Arsenal struggle and he from the outside looks to be in the middle of that right now.

Premier League Simulation - 2026-01-09

Man City perform better while they drop points this midweek so they drop off less than Arsenal. No points gained and another round less still puts things heavily towards Arsenal.

The most interesting fight is going to be what happens after 1-2 right now.

Arsenal vs Liverpool - Simulated Match Odds

It's a big one for Arsenal, this is on paper/spreadsheets one of Arsenal's tougher remaining matches. A win here is huge for the title and for getting a bit of revenge for the Anfield match.

Bournemouth want Nwaneri this January, including on loan

Arsenal open to that as they want minutes for him but don't want to sell

He wants to dig in and learn - although may assess at end of season

Not that Arsenal wanted to do anything but win tomorrow already...

Huge chance to pull way out in front now.

Manchester City's performances as a match goes on fits so nicely with this meme. They have some of the craziest 2nd half drop off of any team in the League
January 7, 2026 at 9:04 PM
That's a dive but also a foul.

His knee goes into Doku for sure and blocks off his path inside.

Douk also does a very unnatural fall there with his left leg that has no contact or reason to go out like that.

The dive is probably what makes it look like a no call on first view to the ref.
