    EPL: Mikel Arteta reveals formula Arsenal will adopt to silence Anfield crowd

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed the formula his side will adopt to silence the shouting crowd at Anfield when both sides clash today in an English Premier League game.

    According to the gaffer, Arsenal will go to Anfield and try to dominate proceedings in the top of the table  encounter.

    The Gunners are away to Liverpool, looking to win for the first time since September 2012.

    Last season, Arteta’s men were 2-0 up in April before the Reds fought back to earn a point.

    Ahead of this weekend’s clash, Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has issued a rallying cry to supporters, urging them to “give your ticket to someone else” if they are not prepared to create a hostile atmosphere.

    But Arteta is plotting how to silence the home supporters.

    “You have to play better than them. You will silence the crowd if you are dominant and better than them. It’s going to be a great atmosphere. The two teams are in a really good moment, really good position, really strong position. They are going to be well-placed to win it and to go for it. It’s going to be an intense match,” Arteta said.

  • Aaron Ramsdale must leave Arsenal – Petit

    Aaron Ramsdale must leave Arsenal – Petit

    Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale must find a way to move away from the club in the January transfer window.

    That is according to former player Emmanuel Petit, who believes Ramsdale’s career is stagnating.

    The England international is now second choice keeper at Arsenal behind David Raya, who arrived in the summer.

    Petit told Compare.bet: “People say that signing Raya was a mistake and he hasn’t been perfect but aren’t Arsenal top of the league? Yes Raya has made some mistakes but he has also made some brilliant saves and he has been excellent in building up from the back.

    “If I was Ramsdale there is no doubt I would ask for a move away in January. I can see he is miserable at the moment and every day he must be waking up thinking ‘what did I do wrong?’ He did everything, and has no reason to feel responsible for dropping him, but you cannot deny that Arsenal are first in the league with Raya in goal.

    “Especially with the Euros coming up, Ramsdale absolutely has to leave. I’m pretty sure there are many, many clubs in the Premier League that would love to have him.”

    Arsenal on Sunday evening at the Emirate defeated  Brighton 2-0 to go top of the English Premier League log pending Liverpool’s  matchday 17 fixture against Manchester united.

    The Gunners dominated proceedings from start to finish and their efforts paid off in the 53rd minute.

    Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke jumped to head a corner but missed and Gabriel Jesus was on ground to lash to the loose ball with a towering header to put Arsenal in the lead.

    Kai Havertz made it two for the Gunners when he received a pass from Eddie Nketiah and  wasted no time before slotting in home for Gunners’ second goal of the encounter.

    Arsenal moved to the summit of the log and now await the outcome of the match between Liverpool and Manchester United.

    Arsenal midfielder Jorginho admits January’s move from Chelsea surprised him.

    The veteran has become a valued option for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

    He recalled: “I didn’t see that coming, to be honest.

    “It happened in less than 48 hours. It was very, very quick.

    “I saw the opportunity of working in a team that had an amazing project, of growing a team, to try and achieve.

    “And I felt they wanted me to give this help to improve the team, bring good energy — and I am glad they knew I would always put the team first.

    “The project convinced me straight away to come.”

    Arteta also said: “As a role model, you want to look at somebody with his career and the way he acts every single day.

    “He understands his role in a great way and whatever you ask him to do he will do it at his best — and that’s something rare.

    “The detail that he can go into, the understanding of what is happening live in the game, how he can correct it and how he can attract the attention of his team-mates to listen to him and do what he is telling them to do. It is very impressive.

    “When he’s on the bench, he’s like another coach.”

    EPL: Arsenal didn’t deserve to lose to Aston Villa – Arteta

    Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta has said his team played  better and deserve to at least get a point on Saturday evening  at Villa Park

    Aston Villa pipped Arsenal 1-0 courtesy of a 7th minute goal by McGinn.

    The loss ensured the Gunners fail to retain top spot weeks after climbing to the summit of the log.

    Arteta, speaking to Sky Sports after the game, said: “Really good performance. I thought we were better team and didn’t deserve to lose the game at all but this is football.”

    When asked about the controversial refereeing decisions he initially refused to comment, but said he has an opinion: “I do, big opinion”.

    Although Arsenal created big chances, they failed to convert any of them, as the hosts recorded their 14th consecutive win at home.

    “You have to put the ball in the net and that’s the only thing we missed today,” Arteta added.

    “We generated some big, big chances, bringing the ball higher up. We still lost the game.”

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insists goalkeeper David Raya remains his first-choice.

    Raya was at fault for one Luton’s goals in the midweek 4-3 win, but Arteta is sticking with the Spaniard over Aaron Ramsdale.

    He said: There is no debate when you look at his [Raya’s] form and what he has achieved since he has been with us. He has been really impressive.

    “We have to support our players and protect them and get the best out of them. Every player deserves right support and right love.”

    On when they are hoping to have midfielder Thomas Partey back from injury, Arteta said: “We don’t know, it’s a bit early to get a time frame.

    “If he’s back by Christmas then it will be very fast. We’re missing key players but we have to continue.”

    Ivan Toney teases Arsenal fans online

    Brentford striker Ivan Toney has once again teased Arsenal fans about a move to the club.

    The English striker is still serving a betting ban, but will be available for action in mid January.

    He posted on Instagram (now deleted): “@DeclanRice. What a game [heart eyes emoji].”

    EPL: United beat Chelsea 2-1, Aston Villa compound City’s woes, Liverpool close up on Arsenal

    Manchester United defeated visiting Chelsea by 2-1 courtesy of Scott McTominay’s double in either half of the encounter.

    United started the game like a house on fire mounting pressure on Chelsea, a moe that saw them gain a penalty but was missed by captain Brumo Fernandenz in the 25th minute.

    Sanchez flew low to his right to parry Bruno Fernandes’ spot-kick and Alejandro Garnacho blazed the rebound over.

    MacTominay lashed on to a loose ball in the 19th minute to score the game’s opener but Cole palmer equalized for the visitors on the stroke of halftime after receiving a through ball from a counter -attacking football from the Blues.

    Mykhailo Mudryk struck the outside of the post and the Ukrainian should have sent Raheem Sterling clean through on goal but for a poor pass that ruined another promising break.

    Shortly after Palmer’s goal, the referee signalled the end of the first half in the thrilling encounter.

    Upon resumption of second half, Mac Tominay again struck in the 69th minute to give United the lead and his goal proved to be the winner in the thrilling encounter.

    A sixth win in eight league games lifts United up to sixth and within three points of champions Manchester City in fourth.

    Elsewhere, Aston Villa defeated champions Manchester City on Wednesday to extend their remarkable winning run at home and condemn City to fourth winless game.

    Pep Guardiola’s men, aiming for an unprecedented fourth consecutive top-flight title, are now winless in four games and five points behind leaders Arsenal.Liverpool, defeated Sheffield United 2-0 courtesy of goals from Captain Virgil Van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai

    Virgil van Dijk scored opened the scoring at Bramall Lane, turning home a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner in the 37th minute from near the penalty spot.

    The visitors dominated possession but failed to break through again until midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai made the points safe in time added on.

    The victory takes Jurgen Klopp’s team to 34 points — just two behind Arsenal, who beat Luton 4-3 on Tuesday.

    “Obviously you have to work for every game, especially against a team who changed manager,” Van Dijk told the BBC.

    “It was always going to a battle but we did well and deserved the three points.”

    It was a miserable first game back in charge for manager Chris Wilder, who returned to the club on Tuesday following Paul Heckingbottom’s dismissal — the first sacking of the season.

    EPL: Rice scores last second goal as Arsenal defeat Luton Town 4-3, extend lead to five points

    Declan Rice’s last second goal ensured Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League table is extended by five points after defeating Luton Town 4-3 at the Kenilworth road on Tuesday night.

    Rice secured all three points for the Gunners when it seemed both sides were going to share the spoils in the thrilling encounter, his goal signalled the end of the match.

    Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Osho looked like sending the sides in level at the break but Gabriel Jesus headed the Gunners  back in front before the break.

    Within 10 minutes of the restart, strikes from Elijah Adebayo and Ross Barkley put the hosts in front, but were behind for just three minutes before Kai Havertz managed to pull the Gunners level again just at the half hour mark.

    Rice is the third different Arsenal player to score two 90th-minute winning goals in a single Premier League campaign, after Ian Wright (1993/94 and 1995-96) and Nicklas Bendtner (2009/10).

    Arsenal will travel to  Villa park on Saturday December 9 to face Aston Villa in what has been dubbed a cracker by football expert.
