Aperçu Saint Pauloise

Arsenal have been hit by a devastating triple injury blow just as they prepare for a high-stakes Premier League showdown with Liverpool. Mikel Arteta has confirmed that several key first-team stars missed the club's midweek humiliating defeat to Fleetwood Town and are now facing a race against time to be fit for the weekend.

Fleetwood Town produced a night for the ages by dumping Premier League champions Arsenal out of the Carabao Cup in a stunning penalty shootout victory. However, the League Two side’s historic achievement was momentarily overshadowed by a hilariously foul-mouthed slip during the post-match celebrations.

Fleetwood Town manager Matt Lawlor struggled to contain his emotions after his League Two side produced one of the greatest shocks in Carabao Cup history by eliminating Arsenal. The Poulton-le-Fylde-born coach watched his team secure a dramatic penalty shootout victory over the reigning Premier League champions at Highbury.
