Arsenal

Mykhaylo Mudryk looks set to join Chelsea. Arsenal's favourites to boost their attack have therefore been forced to look for another player and, ...

For the moment, Arsenal have only asked about Raphinha's situation. Barca paid 58 million plus seven million in variable payments for the winger, a figure that, if he is sold, the Catalan giants would like to recoup. Edu Gaspar really likes Raphinha, so he is already making moves to try to sign him.

The second north London derby of the season will take place on Sunday, as Arsenal look to boost their title chances with a victory over Tottenham Hots.

For the reasons outlined above, we fancy Arsenal to come out on top in this one. But the Gunners have scored two goals or more in 12 of their 17 matches. Arsenal outplayed their rivals in the reverse fixture, winning 3-1 at the start of October. The only team he has been more prolific against is Leicester City. Widely seen as top-four contenders at best in the summer, Arteta’s side have defied expectations to mount a challenge for the title. By the time this game kicks off on Sunday, Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League table could have been cut to two points. That is good news for the neutrals ahead of this weekend’s clash. But Eddie Howe’s side essentially defended for the entire match without offering much of an attacking threat.

There is still a long way to go and bet365 have Manchester City down as their 4/7 favourites.

Arsenal should be boosted by the fitness of Bukayo Saka for today's north London derby against Tottenham.

“He is working really hard. Arsenal have a near fully-fit squad for their short trip to Spurs, with Gabriel Jesus (knee) and Reiss Nelson (hamstring) their only absentees.

Arsenal have gone nine years without winning at the home of north London rivals Tottenham - are Mikel Arteta's table-toppers about to change that?

But when I’m in the public eye, I think about what I can do best for the club, how I can defend the players. Within the law and all the time respecting the opponents and the referees. “That’s the challenge that we have. “It’s not that I don’t care, but I care a lot more when I’m at home. “It’s one of the biggest games of the season for us. But when the derby is at Tottenham, it’s been white for a long time now. “And we need to be competitive. I am who I am. That’s the way we have prepared the game.” But obviously you learn a lot from difficult moments and we certainly did. Mine I can’t control. “We’re going to have to focus on playing well and doing what we have to do to win the game.

His FBref assist percentile of 96 suggest that he is one of the best creators in the top five league at the moment. Martin Odegaard in the midfield is also at his absolute best and the arrival of Emile-Smith Rowe could give Arteta an added advantage. Their last and only loss of the season came against Manchester United at Old Trafford in September. Spurs lack the creativity in attacking midfield region in the absence of Dejan Kulusevski. That’s the position, where they are looking for options in the winter transfer window. Saka is expected to play against the Spurs after an injury scare against Oxford in the FA Cup. They have picked themselves up well in the past two weeks but they must be fierce, right from the start against their foes. Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League with 44 points from 17 matches, whereas Spurs sit in fifth with 33 points in 18 matches. Arteta’s men attack ruthlessly, their wingbacks move forward, the midfielders get into dangerous positions, the forwards are clinical in the final third and the centre-backs form a sturdy partnership at the back. They are second on the list of ‘goals scored per match’ and ‘goals conceded per match’ with a tally of ‘2.4’ and ‘0.8 respectively. But can they maintain their form at their rival’s home to stay at the top? Tottenham Hotspur battered Arsenal 3-0 when the sides crossed paths in the last season.

Keane had shaken hands with Kenny Dalglish, and a move to Lancashire seemed to be a matter of hours away for the Irishman. But in a remarkable twist, City blindsided Chelsea by signing Robinho with just hours left in the transfer window. Another Brazilian winger at the centre of a stunning hijack was Robinho. There was just one problem, the player in question, Eusebio, played for Lourenco Marques - Sporting Lisbon's feeder club. Prime s***housery from Chelsea in the summer of 2018 saw them exact revenge on City. And while the Hammers stalled, Forest swept in to offer Lingard a £200,000-per-week contract. Chelsea fans even made a song about the whole thing. I was supposed to have arrived at another club. The Brazilian seemed all set to join Tottenham Hotspur and even underwent his medical at White Hart Lane. Arsenal were closing in on their target in the summer until new Blues owner Boehly came out swinging with a bigger offer. Raphinha would have likely joined the Stamford Bridge side if his dream club Barcelona hadn’t come knocking. Daily Star Sport brings you seven other transfers that were hijacked at the death.

Personal terms have also been agreed between Chelsea and the 22-year-old, with a seven-year-plus contract to be signed. Chelsea, who are on the verge of signing Mudryk, will look to put an end to their torrid form. It’s one of the biggest games of the season for us. Antonio Conte's side are a much tougher outfit on home soil, however, and will be hoping to win four consecutive home matches against Arsenal for the first time. “I just love it,” the Arsenal manager said. Will even someone like Kane, who comes across as completely unflappable, focused and metronomic, feel the pressure? A deal has now been agreed on a fixed fee of €70million (£62m), with a further €30m (£26.5m) in add-ons. “We have to focus on playing well and doing what we have to do to win the game.” Arsenal travel to Tottenham in the north London derby hoping to solidify their Premier League title hopes. We’re all talking about it, but how much will Kane be thinking about it? Arsenal have probably been the better of the two teams but the league leaders have kept them at bay. Spurs, on the other hand, are fifth in the league and have lost five of their last 11, including October's 3-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal were left 'aggravated' after Chelsea hijacked their deal for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk at the last minute, according to reports.

Of course they lost a big target and a top player but they don’t panic. they did their best to sign Mudryk, a great bid; Chelsea decided to go really strong on it so Arsenal to respect their strategy and vision have decided to not change anything. “Arsenal could not guarantee €100m for Mudryk, but this was always Shakhtar’s position.

Arsenal look to remain firm atop the Premier League standings as they hope to complete their first Premier League double over North London rivals Tottenham ...

The two sides have combined for 51 second-half goals this season, which is nearly one-fifth of all second-half goals in the Premier League this season! As a top-four hopeful, Spurs have been outscored in the first half of matches 13-10, and their 9.69 expected goals (xG) in the first half this season is good for just 12th in the Premier League. India: Star Sports network has the rights to show Premier League matches in India. Tottenham haven't just been bad in the first half of Premier League matches this season, they've been downright awful. Even without those outliers, second halves generally feature more goals in this sport as we saw on full display at the World Cup. - The home side has not suffered defeat in this rivalry since December 2018 when Arsenal fell 2-0 in EFL Cup action, a run of eight matches. As mentioned previously, Spurs struggle mightily before halftime, an ailment that has plagued them all campaign, but they are explosive after the break. Arsenal, meanwhile, have a boatload of players in excellent form that will carry them to victory here. Spurs, meanwhile, are fifth in the table, knowing points in this match would be exceptionally valuable in the race for a Champions League spot. However, with such rivalry matches being hotly contested despite table position and the recent swing towards the home club, Spurs are given a fighting chance in this match, with Arsenal into plus odds territory. Nketiah was blanked by Newcastle in his last Premier League appearance. A Gunners loss could see four clubs with a shot to win the title.

Minute-by-minute report: Follow all the action from the table-top clash in the Women's Super League with Rob Smyth.

Chelsea have fewer injury concerns, though Pernille Harder is still missing with a hamstring injury, and they looked in ominously good shape before the winter break. Hello and welcome to live coverage of Arsenal v Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal are without Vivianne Miedema and Beth Mead, who are both out for the season with cruciate-ligament injuries, but Leah Williamson and Kim Little should start their first WSL games since the autumn and the exciting signings Kathrine Kuhl and Victoria Pelova may be involved from the bench. Chelsea pipped Arsenal to the title by a point last year; this season Chelsea are three points clear having played a match more. Leah Williamson and Kim Little return to the side as expected. She scuffs her shot on the run and Musovic makes a comfortable save to her left. “In theory, Paramount+ has the US broadcast rights to the WSL,” says Joe Pearson, “but they apparently don’t think this top of the table clash is worth their notice. Blackstenius runs at a backpedalling Chelsea defence and slips a lovely reverse pass through to Hurtig in the area. Foord cuts inside from the left, slithers past Charles and thrashes a right-foot shot from a tight angle that is claimed at the second attempt by Musovic. She robs Rafaelle in her own half, swerves elegantly past Catley and makes for the penalty area. Most of them look very relaxed, though the captains Kim Little and Magda Eriksson hav their gamefaces on. They will be carrying the United vs Liverpool game later today.”

Arsenal will go eight points clear in the Premier League if they beat Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on Sunday.

By then, however, Spurs had become something a force to be reckoned with, regularly qualifying for European competitions, which rarely happened in the 1990s and early 2000s. After becoming the first London club to turn professional in 1891, they struggled to attract fans to games and suffered financial difficulties, which in 1908 prompted them to contemplate a move to the north of the city, where they thought they would have a bigger catchment area of players and fans alike. To make matters worse for the Lilywhites, they were relegated at Arsenal’s expense six short years later in extremely dubious circumstances. Soccer – and soccer fandom in particular - is tribal; the very idea that another club would even think about stepping on your land is more than enough to create animosity. There is certainly a reasonable case, though, for it to be put forward for as London’s biggest derby and rivalry (calm down, please, fans of other London clubs). If you’re not, you might be led to believe that Boca Juniors vs River Plate, Rangers vs Celtic or Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray is the ‘biggest’ by any number of ‘top 10′ articles.

Chelsea have completed the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk on a seven-year deal, for a fee worth a reported £89 million ($109m).

Arsenal were expected to return for the 22-year-old in January and did, with [official website](https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/mudryk-completes-transfer-to-chelsea): "I’m so happy to sign for Chelsea. But in an unexpected twist, he links up with the Blues - not the Gunners - with Chelsea completing a deal to sign the Ukrainian hotshot ahead of Arsenal.

Arsenal took the lead with a penalty in the 56th minute before Sam Kerr equalised in the 89th to keep Chelsea three points ahead of the Gunners in the WSL.

On Saturday, former Chelsea striker Beth England netted on her debut for Tottenham Hotspur but ended up on the losing side as Kirsty Hannon set up both goals in a 2-1 win for Aston Villa. Chelsea tops the standings on 28 points, three ahead of Arsenal, which has a game in hand over the Blues. Arsenal took the lead when Chelsea’s Niamh Charles conceded a penalty in the 56th minute by bundling over Caitlin Foord, and Kim Little rattled the spot kick past Musovic to break the deadlock.

The ball came in from the right and the Tottenham players all decided they weren't going to touch it, meaning the ball just sat in front of goal like a lonely lamb. Romero was the first to decide this was a bad idea and he launched the ball into the sky and away from goal. And the weather is lovely. the atmosphere is going to surely play a huge part today! Everyone else is packed in the Spurs side of the pitch. Somehow the goalkeeper got a leg to the ball. Saka plays the ball centrally to the Norwegian from the right wing. Arteta will be a happy man as his team pressed crazily in the first half, and knew the right moments to pounce in the second. "Then a fan jumped over and gave me a little punch in the back. "We can still improve a lot of things, you see today the difference between the first and second half. "And today, we played against a strong team but, at the same time, I don't have a great disappointment at the commitment of my players.

Arsenal has extended its Premier League lead to eight points with a 2-0 win at Tottenham in the north London derby that was helped by an own-goal by ...

But Ramsdale stuck out a foot that time to parry his low shot across goal. But he was beaten again shortly afterward when a perfectly struck volley from Partey from outside crashed against the post. Things did turn heated after the final whistle, when a young Tottenham supporter climbed onto an advertising board and appeared to aim a kick at Ramsdale as he was collecting his water bottle behind the goal. This was Arsenal's first win at the new stadium that opened in 2019 and while there is still much work for Mikel Arteta's side to do before ending that 19-year title drought, it certainly brings them a bit closer — especially after second-place Manchester City lost Saturday’s derby against Manchester United. Only two good saves from Lloris and the woodwork prevented Arsenal from taking an even bigger lead, with Thomas Partey smashing a long-distance volley against the post in the 24th. It leaves a sour taste but I’m sure we’ll enjoy it when we go back to the dressing room.”

After beating Tottenham in the North London derby, Arsenal are the bookies' favourites to win the Premier League for the first time in seven years.

It is a shame as it is just a game of football at the end of the day. He then denied Kane again and [Ryan Sessegnon](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/241328/Ryan-Sessegnon) early in the second half as Spurs fought to get back into the game, so his contribution was vital. They lacked ideas and organisation, and confidence seems to be in short supply, but Spurs have now reached the decisive stage of their season. [Hugo Lloris](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/43372/Hugo-Lloris) own-goal followed by a long-range strike by [Martin Odegaard](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/203669/martin-ødegaard) -- both in the first half -- were enough to claim the points and maintain Arsenal's bid to win their first title since Arsene Wenger's Invincibles in 2003-04. Now, the mistakes are becoming too regular, and Spurs need to start looking for a replacement. There is little sign of another bounce this term, but Spurs will need to find something pretty quickly because those next three league games could see them come away with zero points if they perform as poorly as they did against the Gunners. Whether Arsenal's squad is deep enough to last the course remains to be seen, and plenty of teams have failed to sustain a good first half of the season into the second half. The 36-year-old provoked nervousness in his defenders and was then slow to get down in his failed attempt to keep out Odegaard's 20-yard shot for Arsenal's second. This was a day of contrasts for the two goalkeepers on duty. 15, Arsenal's title credentials really will be placed under scrutiny, but they breezed through the first challenge by beating Spurs with a scoreline that flattered the home side. With the Spurs game followed by United at the Emirates next Sunday and a home game against City on Feb. [Manchester United](/football/team?id=360), coupled with Arsenal's North London derby victory, gave Mikel Arteta's team an eight-point lead ahead of Pep Guardiola's side.

“We’ve got to stay humble and keep working hard. It felt amazing,” Arsenal captain Odegaard told Sky Sports. Leader Arsenal put on a masterclass to overwhelm shell-shocked north London rival Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 away and extend the gap at the top of the Premier League to eight points on Sunday.

We have to keep going." "We've got to stay humble and keep working hard. It felt amazing," Arsenal captain Odegaard told Sky Sports. You saw the difference in the first and second half today so we have things to improve. "It is about time. The win puts Arsenal on 47 points from 18 games ahead of Manchester City on 39, with Newcastle United, who have played a game more, and Manchester United a further point back.

A 2-0 win over North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday left no doubt over who the dominant force is in north London.

Ramsdale didn’t seem hurt and was dragged away from the area by teammates before celebrating in front of Arsenal’s supporters at the other end of the stadium. Not only did Mitrovic end up on the losing team, he had a goal ruled out for a double touch when attempting a penalty kick. Joelinton played the whole game for Newcastle three days after his midweek arrest for alleged drunk-driving. Then Saka led a break forward in the 36th and slipped a ball inside to captain Martin Odegaard, who lashed home a low shot from 25 meters. Now they’ve both played the same number of matches — 18 of a possible 38 — and City is struggling to keep pace with the leaders. City is likely to improve and has previously gone on long, unbeaten runs down the stretch.

It was only the second league win in 10 matches for the home side who remain in an unaccustomed 10th place half-way through the season. "We've got to stay humble and keep working hard. It felt amazing," Arsenal captain Odegaard told Sky Sports. We have to keep going." "It is about time. In other matches of the day, Chelsea earned their first win of 2023 with a 1-0 victory over lively Crystal Palace, and Alexander Isak came off the bench to earn Newcastle United a last-gasp 1-0 win over Fulham.

Chelsea paraded their new Ukrainian winger Mudryk at half-time during their home game against Crystal Palace, after beating Arsenal's reported bid of €95 ...

Liverpool lost in the quarterfinals and got 88 million euros. “This is a huge club, in a fantastic league and it is a very attractive project for me at this stage of my career,” Mudryk said. “He will add further depth to our attack and we know he'll get a very warm welcome to London.”

Arsenal will be disappointed to have missed out on Mudryk but the club have still managed to emerge from the weekend on a high.

The work rate of the front three of [Eddie Nketiah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/eddie-nketiah-DEv6ydhcRGewFPXs/), [Gabriel Martinelli](https://theathletic.com/football/player/gabriel-martinelli-NsmAJRRvnAnaLr6r/) and [Bukayo Saka](https://theathletic.com/football/player/bukayo-saka-KM98BOcjxMZ919HO/) was sensational — but is it sustainable? [Gabriel Jesus](https://theathletic.com/football/player/gabriel-jesus-lmzbBZ9WUccDYEbt/) might not have been signed had Arsenal landed [Dusan Vlahovic](https://theathletic.com/football/player/dusan-vlahovic-dJSqGKWkmlAX95xe/) six months before. Mudryk himself only became the prime target when [Raphinha](https://theathletic.com/football/player/raphinha-a5efFceOARuL0px2/) chose to join [Barcelona](https://theathletic.com/football/team/fc-barcelona/) from [Leeds United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/leeds-united/). [Oleksandr Zinchenko](https://theathletic.com/football/player/oleksandr-zinchenko-MS8PfOpWPUopegk6/) was arguably Arsenal’s best player in that imperious first 45 minutes, but the club had initially wanted [Lisandro Martinez](https://theathletic.com/football/player/lisandro-martinez-lZNyZmtnsD6xHZZP/) as their new left-back. At Tottenham, the team did their job in exemplary fashion. As Arsenal prepared to face [Tottenham](https://theathletic.com/football/team/tottenham-hotspur/), the €100million (£88.7m; $108m) winger they had so prized was paraded at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal still have half of the window to try and find an alternative signing. That’s not entirely true: when someone is a perfect fit for their plans, they are prepared to go the extra mile. In the first half, there was a gulf in class between Arsenal and Tottenham. Now Arsenal will need to go back to the drawing board — but at least they do so from a position of relative comfort. Amid the disappointment at missing out on a new signing, this performance served as a reminder that Arsenal have a team of quality at their disposal. These are among the traits that have taken Arsenal to the top of the table.

Aaron Ramsdale was involved in an altercation with Richarlison followed by a fan kicking him during Arsenal's 2-0 Premier League win vs Tottenham.

That's what happened and it's a shame because it's just a game of football at the end of the day. Hugo Lloris scored an own goal in the 14th-minute to give Arsenal a 1-0 lead and then captain Martin Odegaard's long-range strike made it 2-0 in the 36th-minute. The win also saw Arsenal complete their first league double over Tottenham for the first time since the 2013-14 campaign, with the Gunners winning away at Spurs for the first time since March 2014.
