There are no easy away games in the Premier League but when you are at home you do have a significant advantage and if there is ever a time to push that advantage it is when you are up against a promoted team. That is not to say that Villa will be walkovers, they will […]
Arsenal’s first game of the season was away against Newcastle United and they got off to a great start with a win and a clean sheet. In the very next game Emery broke up that defence and there were no more clean sheets in any competition until Thursday night against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa […]
For one reason or another, there are a few Arsenal players that owe the club and fans a performance of high quality against Aston Villa tomorrow afternoon at the Emirates. It is not simply because of previous poor performances but also because of players breathing down the necks of a teammate or even because of […]
Arsenal has a great opportunity of moving up the table tomorrow against Aston Villa at the Emirates but they simply have to get the basics right. Villa are no walkovers, they will be competitive and with the likes of Jack Grealish and John McGinn in their side they do pose a significant threat. Complacency Arsenal […]
At the moment Ainsley Maitland-Niles is almost guaranteed a spot in the first-team simply because there is no one to replace him but once Hector Bellerin is back you just know his days as a starter are numbered. The biggest problem for the 22-year-old is that he is not a natural defender and dislikes the […]
There is starting to be some murmurings about Nicolas Pepe and his performances to date for Arsenal, mainly from TV pundits, opposition fans and also from a few Arsenal fans. The £72 Million record signing has yet to show his true capabilities in an Arsenal shirt and it is that transfer fee that seems to […]
Saints 1-2 Cherries Just because this is a Derby doesn’t mean the Cherries shouldn’t be positive. They should play what’s in front of them and not the occasion. They have too many match winners. Leicester 1-0 Spurs This is not a game you want having been away in Europe. Also surprised Poch has not moaned […]
Arsenal will be back in Premier League action on Sunday when they host Aston Villa at the Emirates and as usual, the pundits have been making their predictions. It is an Arsenal win across the board for the pundits, though there is some significant differences in the predicted scoreline. Sky Sports and former Gunner Charlie […]
I try to watch Arsenal live as much as possible but with a huge family and work commitments, it is becoming more and more difficult to justify the time to go to the Emirates on match days, especially Sundays. You see, Sunday is the day the family gets together, normally for a delicious Sunday roast […]
No doubt there will be quite a few fans calling for some of the players that featured in the Eintracht Frankfurt game that are not normally in the Arsenal first team to be given a chance against Aston Villa on Sunday but I just do not see that happening. Bernd Leno will return between the […]
There was a time that promoted teams posed almost no danger to the top-six, they were quickly dispatched and done with but that is not so much the case any more, just ask Man City. Aston Villa pose a significant threat, they have spent heavily in the summer and have already shown this season that […]
Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been speaking about the problems with the Arsenal defence and how the whole team has to help out. He also states that a lot of shots are not that important and do not pose a danger. “Two things. First, we need to be competitive and we need to improve defensively, […]
It is common knowledge that Arsenal has an issue with their defence and are waiting on their injured players to come back and strengthen the weakest area in the team. Rob Holding is basically back and just waiting on a first-team start and Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin are on the verge of a return […]
Arsenal kicked off their Europa League campaign with a decent 3-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt in an exciting game that had everything, including a red card. Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka was particularly impressive scoring one and setting up two but the scoreline was a little flattering for the Gunners who had to rely on their […]
