Mikel Arteta is still unsure on the prognosis of the issues that caused William Saliba, Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori to be substituted in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. “The first one was Willy (Saliba), who had to be out after the first half,” Arteta said in his post-match press conference.

Despite scoring twice in the midweek 4-0 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, Viktor Gyökeres is still searching for his Premier League scoring touch. The Swedish striker, who joined Arsenal from Sporting CP for £64 million, has not scored in the league since the 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in mid-September.
