Pedro may not know it, but his desire to make sure that he’s not part of the first Chelsea team in 26 years to lose at home to Tottenham could help Arsenal catch their north London rivals.

Currently in contract talks with Chelsea, Dominic Solanke’s negotiations seem to have hit a brick wall and Arsenal could make their move.

Dermot Drummy, formerly of Arsenal and Chelsea, has been announced as the new manager of Crawley Town on a two-year deal.

Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham are just some of the clubs that are reportedly interested in Thomas Vermaelen.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Özil set a new Premier League record for chances created in a season (since 2003/04) on Sunday.

This will probably only come as a surprise to about three people (Arsene Wenger included) but Arsenal’s conversion rate at home is one of the worst in the Premier League.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kieran Gibbs’ lack of first team football this season means rumours that they’re off in summer are circulating.

Manchester City have piled yet more pressure on Arsenal after beating Chelsea 3-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a hat-trick from Sergio Aguero.

Now back in the Arsenal first team for the first time since he threw his chance away in the autumn, Gabriel has insisted he won’t make the same error that saw him dropped from the side again.

The big story on Sunday was, no doubt, the allegations that some Arsenal players, along with Chelsea, Leicester City and Birmingham City ones, have been a little bit naughty when it comes to following the anti-doping regulations.
