Comprehensive match preview of Liverpool vs Arsenal in the Premier League at Anfield. The Gunners are overdue a win at this venue, but can they put that right?
Former Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has revealed that he turned down an approach from Brazilian heavyweights Flamengo during the summer transfer window out of loyalty to boyhood club Palmeiras. Instead of returning to South America, the 29-year-old attacker completed a deadline-day switch from north London to Spanish giants Barcelona.
Arsenal could face a massive fight to keep hold of their talismanic captain Martin Odegaard amid reports of interest from German giants Bayern Munich. The Norwegian playmaker has been instrumental in the Gunners' recent resurgence, but suggestions of a potential move to the Allianz Arena have sparked concern in north London.
Arsenal are preparing to launch negotiations over an extended deal for first-choice goalkeeper David Raya despite the Spaniard recently admitting he would like to play in his homeland one day. Meanwhile, neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid are expected to make an imminent move for the 31-year-old shot-stopper in upcoming transfer windows.
Arsenal have suffered a significant setback in their efforts to protect teenage sensation Max Dowman after an independent commission dismissed their appeal against his recent red card. The 16-year-old attacker was sent off during a frustrating Carabao Cup evening for the Gunners, and the club's attempt to overturn the decision has officially fallen flat.
