Apparently Arsenal have the second youngest average age for Starting XI's in the premier league this season

I'm not sure it is them not wanting him, he was fantastic in the 2 legs v Liverpool. He has a release clause so they cant stop him leaving, and if you believe the rumour mill Arsenal can double his wages to £130k a week. Partey has 50, 42 and 42(so far) appearances for Atletico over the past 3 seasons so they definitely see him as 1st choice

What we do at CB is going to be very interesting this summer.
We have Luiz, Saliba, Sokratis, Mari, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers (and Mavropanos) That's 8 CB's.....and when we play 3 at the back Kolasinac and even Tierney + Xhaka can fill in.
We know Luiz, Mari and Saliba are in. It wouldn't surprise me if Arteta picks the one he likes the best out of the remainder - which seems to be Mustafi and tried to offload the rest - albeit Chambers won't be going anywhere due to his injury and Mavropanos may go on loan again.

I could see Holding and Sokratis being sold and no new CB coming in. High sales figures will be hard to come by so it would be worth keeping Holding if the right fee isn't available - given his age and home grown status he should fetch a minimum of £20m. If we squeak in to Europa league we'll need a decent collection of players

Ah, having done some quick research that clause stands at €50M. He’s 26 so bang in his prime. A swap with Lacazette or Guendouzi favours us IMO and a few clubs have been strongly linked with him. Love that to happen one way or other if possible. No UCL will be a major hurdle

terrible decision to call a foul by Tierney there, he was fouled as he was trying to intercept the ball!

big save from Martinez. We were caught out on the short corner again, shot came through Mustafi's legs so it was a fine save

Soyuncu, their CB having to play left back. We've got Saka out on the right again. Feels like a natural right winger who would take him on the outside might be better suited

Aubamayang!!! 1-0

Superb in to out run from Saka, wonderful ball inside the ball back from Ceballos. Saka then sits Jonny Evans on his ar$e and delivers the ball across the box for a tap in for Aubamayang

That pass from Ceballos was excellent.

That is why Arteta wants to keep Ceballos. As much as what Saka did was brilliant the ball from Ceballos makes 75% of that goal

Good play again - Saka with a good shot saved.

Once we get past Leicester's high press we're getting through them every time. Needs Xhaka and Ceballos to find the right passes under pressure

two good saves from Schmeichel, our front 3 are really causing them problems. Fantastic save from a lacazette shot on the turn

Can see a clear tactic to really pressure Schmeichel when he has the ball at his feet, he's given it away a couple of times

Leicester goal disallowed - foul by the man who touched it in pulling the defender back

wonderful pick out from bellerin but lacazette heads straight at the gk. Need to get this 2nd goal because Leicester are not out of this

Ceballos has run the game. Not just his passing, his press and turnover of possession must be very high as well

Gosh we look a different team. We’ve had about three really presentable. chances, I felt like we needed the second goal before halftime, but I wonder if maybe we’re maturing into a team you think could actually keep a clean sheet.

I think we can say that Arteta has by and large improved virtually every player in the squad. That’s impressive.

I think I read Arsenal have 10 clean sheets in Arteta's 21 games in charge. If you can keep clean sheets in 50% of your games you're on for conceding somewhere under 30 goals in a season, something we almost certainly haven't done since 2004 I'd guess

Vardy chasing a long ball he's never going to get just pushes over Tierney in frustration, I assume at Tierney doing his job and not giving Vardy a clear run at it.

Another good save from Martinez whilst Arsenal were down to 10 because Mustafi took a knock

That should be a clear yellow. Tierney would have been in for the pass down the wing, just blocked off. We've taken yellows for such blatant fouls like that all season

VAR must have seen that assault on Mustafi. Why wasn't a pen given?

goal disallowed for lacazette, half a foot offside from a flick from a corner

One of those stupid ones that if Mustafi goes up and wins that header in his own box and a striker backs in to him he wins the free kick every time.
Refs know that is a nothing call that is instantly forgotten by everyone. They don't want to give them as penalties though

Checking a red card for Nketiah. Its ridiculous, he's not even going for the tackle, he's trying to control the ball and just catches the man

Red card confirmed - pathetic

That’s bollocks.

That’s a ridiculous red card

Bollocks but it was reckless .....................

It’s simply a yellow. Rash but no intent to hurt.

Was trying to Nick it. *%^@*** ridiculous

When you see the kickings Pépé has taken this season to get a red for that is a joke

Vardy goal checking with VAR

vardy looked offside from the original cross but VAR is looking at whether there was a second touch rather than the original

screwed again by VAR screwed again by the ref

This season has been an absolute horror show for us with VAR and ref calls.

the amount of fouls, yellows,reds that we get and the opposition dont.
good goal v palace not given
clear red for a chelsea player not given when we lead 1-0
clear penalty not given when leading 1-0 at home to sheff utd
and now today

It's awful

Game has been turned on its head by a ref who has no idea what an honest attempt to control a ball is. Fuming by that call still

Again no yellows for leicester players clearly dragging and blocking arsenal players - how have they not got a single booking today?

I think this ref has been pretty good tonight. His initial view was a yellow. I’d agree.

Play it back 50 times and watch it for 3 mins without a clear decision then ask him to look again. No pressure on him.

My main problem with the reds and penalties we get and concede is you simply do not see the same rules applied for us.
The stats bear this out Arsenal 4 fouls per yellow card. Leicester 14 fouls per yellow card. It is a huge sample panel across the whole season

It’s 100% this

Surely if it’s a red it has to be obvious

They played the replay 50 odd times. How can you give it ? You can’t reach a conclusion so if in doubt now the player has to go.

and play it at full speed only on a replay. then you'll see that Nketiah is trying to control a bouncing ball and has no time at all to realise the defender is there
