A total of 15 players have represented both arch-rivals for several years. The Northern London derby is one of the most popular football derbies in English football and the list of players who dared to cross the rivalry is particularly small. Two names that people might remember well are Emmanuel Adebayor and Sol Campell with the move of the latter particularly making the headline as it happened.

Posted on  October 29, 2022  in Uncategorized

Arsenal have enjoyed a stunning start to their season as the Gunners sit at the top of the Premier League table despite a 1-1 draw with Southampton on Sunday, with Mikel Arteta’s side are also top of their Europa League group. Their lead over Manchester City was cut to two points as Pep Guardiola’s side defeated Brighton 3-1 on Saturday, but if Arsenal can win their final three league games before the World Cup against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Wolves they will have put themselves in a strong position when the division resumes just after Christmas.

Arsenal’s front three in particular of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka have been in electric form together and they have spearheaded the team. They have been ever-presents for Arteta in the league along with six other players in Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard.

 

The lack of changes has allowed the side to retain a level of consistency, though it could represent a problem later in the season if Arsenal suffer from burnout in a busy schedule, which also includes a World Cup in the middle of the campaign. Arteta has already addressed fears that his side may struggle later in the season, suggesting that he may not look to rotate too much this season. (more…)
