Arsenal travel to Switzerland for their final group game of this year’s Champions League. Here’s how the side’s have fared since they last met.

Arsenal have welcomed back four players to training – Olivier Giroud, Hector Bellerin, Per Mertesacker and Chuba Akpom.

Swiss paper, Blick, claims that Borussia Monchengladbach are ‘mourning’ the loss of Granit Xhaka, with sporting director, Max Erbel naming him as the reason they are struggling defensively this season.

Champions League time and the final group game leaves us knowing we need PSG to do us a favour in order to top the group.

In this post-truth age, it seems that not only can people have whatever option they want, they can also have their own facts. We’re here to stop that.

Arsenal have not conceded a single goal in the Premier League in the first 15 minutes of a game, nor in the final 15 at home, and have not conceded a first half goal on the road.

The Draw for the third-round of the FA Cup was made today and Arsenal will play Preston North End at Deepdale.

As we enter December, it has taken no time at all for the transfer rumour mill to kick into gear and links are starting to arrive with increased regularity.

Manchester City have tweeted to say that Pep Guardiola denies contacting Alexis Sanchez to try and convince the Arsenal man to join him at Manchester City.

Sergio Aguero has been handed a four-game ban for his assault on David Luiz on Sunday and will now miss the showdown with Arsenal later this month.

Alexis Sanchez was given 10 out of 10 for his performance against West Ham on Saturday so it is no surprise to see him named in teams of the week across Europe.

Pep Guardiola reportedly contacted Alexis Sanchez after the game against West Ham to ask him to sign for Manchester City according to a report in El Mercurio today.

Alexis Sanchez and Nacho Monreal were both selected in Garth Crook’s BBC Team of the Week for the matches that were played this weekend.

Bournemouth fans declared Liverpool captain, Jordan Henderson, as just a s**t Jack Wilshere – and that was before the Cherries completed the most unlikely of comebacks.
