Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at Southampton FC

By

No matter what happens at Southampton FC on Sunday, it's three straight second place finishes, but also at the same time, trophyless seasons for Arsenal FC. Sure, you could say that 2023 doesn't quite count, because the Gunners claimed the FA Community Shield. But then again, maybe we should designate that campaign as sans silverware because we have to remember why the Gunners … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at Southampton FC

Arsenal Team News at Southampton: William Saliba, Mikel Merino, Jurrien Timber

By

Championship Sunday is basically a glorified friendly for Arsenal FC, who have already clinched runner-up status for the 2024-25 Premier League season. Therefore, we don't see any reason to risk center back William Saliba in this one. Fellow defender Jurrien Timber is already shut down for the remainder (which is now just one game). And Mikel Merino is suspended, so there you … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News at Southampton: William Saliba, Mikel Merino, Jurrien Timber

Arsenal Team News vs Bournemouth: Riccardo Calafiori, Neto

Yet here we are more than six weeks later, and Calafiori is still not ready to make a matchday squad. … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News vs Bournemouth: Riccardo Calafiori, Neto

Arsenal Team News vs Crystal Palace: Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz

By

In the 4-0 rout of Ipswich Town, earlier today, Arsenal suffered a major injury scare, in the form of Bukayo Saka. The English forward left the match early, noticeably in pain, after receiving a knock on the leg. Given that Saka has already spent three months on the sidelines this season, due to a hamstring injury, one can understand why cause for concern flared up … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News vs Crystal Palace: Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz

Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at Ipswich Town

By

For Ipswich Town, defeat on Sunday could officially seal relegation for them. For Arsenal, a loss could officially hand the Premier League title to Liverpool. Both of these fates are inevitable at this point, but Easter Sunday could just get it over with. For the Tractor Boys, it's obviously back to the Championship, after just one season up at the top flight. … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting Lineup Prediction at Ipswich Town

Arsenal Team News at Girona: Odegaard, Merino, Lewis-Skelly

By

Arsenal have a couple more availability concerns, ahead of their trip to Girona. Team Captain Martin Odegaard is a doubt as he's dealing with a virus. Sticking in the midfield, summer signing Mikel Merino is also a doubt, as he's battling a knock of some sort. Both are thought to be minor issues, but it is possible that manager Mikel Arteta might not risk them here, given the … [Read more...] about Arsenal Team News at Girona: Odegaard, Merino, Lewis-Skelly
