ARSENAL SET RECORD WITH CITY DEFEAT

Arsenal have set an unwanted record in the Premier League after they were beaten by league leaders Manchester City on Sunday. The Gunners conceded inside two minutes to a Raheem Sterling header and that proved to be enough for Manchester City to win the game by a lone goal thereby maintaining their good record over Arsenal in the competition. With the 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City, Arsenal have not set a record of four successive home defeats to a single team in the Premier League era.

The Gunners have lost their last four home games to Manchester City in the Premier League to make it eight defeats in a row in the competition against the same opponents. As a matter of fact, the eight-game losing run against Manchester City equals the record for Arsenal since league football started in England over a century ago. The record was set against Leeds United in the 70s between 1973 and 1976.The Gunners have not beaten Manchester in any of their last 11 meetings in the league. In that time, Arsenal have beaten them twice in the FA Cup semi-final.

Alexandre Lacazette contract talks on hold, confirms Mikel Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the future of striker Alexandre Lacazette will be decided only in the summer, as no contract talks are being held at the moment. The Frenchman’s contract with Arsenal runs out in the summer and the club has had a lot of experiences when it comes to leading players leave on a free due to the failure to agree terms with a new contract. It appears that history seems to be repeating with Alexandre Lacazette, who will be able to discuss terms with a foreign club.

The striker has been one of the top scorers for Arsenal this season. He has managed nine goals in 19 appearances, as the gunners have been able to soften the blow of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being unavailable for a decent part of the campaign. After recently agreeing to a new contract,Aubameyang has been hit by a number of injury problems and he has only scored five goals in all competitions this season.

William Gallas urges Arsenal to make new signings in January

Former Arsenal captain William Gallas believes the club should make changes to the squad when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year. The north London giants have endured a difficult 2020/21 campaign in the Premier League and they have attained just 14 points from 13 games into the season.

That is already their worst ever start since the league was formed in 1992 and that has led to criticism from a certain section of the fans. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta continues to retain the support from the hierarchy and a major section of the supporters, but there is bound to be some transfer activity at the turn of the year.
