ARSENAL & SPURS EYE SALZBURG STARS This past week was a pretty rocky one for Mikel Arteta's side. On Wednesday, they were beaten by a very out of form West Ham United outfit in the Carabao Cup. The Gunners, despite having 72% possession, rarely seriously threatened the Hammers' defence - mustering just three shots on target during the game. It was a defeat and performance that would've been less calamitous had Arteta used the Game as an opportunity to play a number of the younger players on th...

Arsenal's H2H record vs 2023/24 Champions League group stage opponents

After an interminable six-year wait for Champions League football, Arsenal return to Europe's elite in a favourable Group B. As Premier League runners-up, the Gunners were drawn from Pot 2 but avoided the hulking top-flight champions from other divisions that lurked in Pot 1. Sevilla's name was the first to be plucked out and stuffed into Group B. The Europa League winners lost their first three La Liga Game s of the season for the first time in their History this term and only finished 12th in 2023. Both PSV Eindhoven and RC Lens came second in their respective divisions last season and complete a Champions League group devoid of league champions.

Image
After battling against relegation for the second conseciutive season in 2022/23, Everton supporters will be hoping for a more prosperous 2023/24 . Abdoulaye Doucoure was the hero on the final day of the season as his thumping strike sunk Bournemouth and ensured the Toffees retained their Premier League status at Leicester's expense.
