SAKA FITNESS LATEST

Passed fit to start after his second-half substitution at Molineux, Saka had to be taken off again in the north London derby.

After Xavi Simons (£6.5m) inadvertently landed on him towards the end of the match, he needed medical attention before eventually hobbling off.

He was, at least, able to walk off the pitch.

Saka also appeared to be moving freely after full-time, and Mikel Arteta made no mention of the injury in his post-match presser, suggesting that it isn’t too serious.

Elsewhere on the injury front, Martin Odegaard (£7.8m) made his return as a second-half substitute, but Ben White (£5.1m) and Kai Havertz (£7.3m) missed out completely.

“With Kai [Havertz], it was too early, but Martin [Odegaard] is okay to play some minutes. With Ben [White], he had a niggle yesterday, and he couldn’t make the game.” – Mikel Arteta

Returning to Saka, he was excellent before his withdrawal.

After his run-out as a ‘10’ at Molineux, he was back on the right wing for this encounter and subsequently provided an assist. He also racked up five shots, all inside the box.

“I loved his attitude, his presence, how dominant he was in the game from the beginning. The first reaction immediately, he wants to grab the game, and he really wants to say, I’m here. And that’s what I love, he didn’t score, but he was in every action. I think he was really, really good.” – Mikel Arteta on Bukayo Saka

EZE + GYOKERES SUPERB

Arsenal looked like a team that wanted to prove a point on Sunday, and they caused Spurs all sorts of problems throughout.

Key to this performance were Eberechi Eze (£7.2m) and Viktor Gyokeres (£8.8m).

After his heroics in the reverse fixture, Eze started in a No 10 role and bagged a brace. He’s now scored six Premier League goals this season, and five have come against Spurs.

“… he’s scored five goals in the last two games against them, which is extremely difficult to do, but I could see that he wanted to prove something. He was upset, even with me, because I didn’t play him the other day from the beginning and some of the decisions that I made. And I start to understand how we’re going to get the best out of him now.” – Mikel Arteta on Eberechi Eze

In a dominant display, Gyokeres looked really sharp, too.

His two goals on Sunday have taken him up to five in as many league matches.

“I think so. His overall play was incredible. The efficiency, the goals he scored. He was really, really good today.” – Mikel Arteta on if it was Viktor Gyokeres’ best performance for Arsenal

Jurrien Timber (£6.4m) found Gyokeres in a central position for his first strike, but was notably subbed off early, leaving the pitch on 56 minutes. The Dutchman looked a bit leggy prior to his withdrawal, but was on a yellow card, which is why Arteta replaced him with Cristhian Mosquera (£5.3m).

Elsewhere, Declan Rice (£7.6m) banked defensive contribution (DefCon) points for the fourth successive match.

TUDOR’S 3-5-2

In Igor Tudor’s first game as Spurs boss, he rolled out a 3-5-2 formation.

With Dominic Solanke (£7.2m) only fit enough for a place on the bench, Randal Kolo Muani (£6.9m) was named as the main striker, with Simons playing off him.

Simons has been Tottenham’s best player in recent weeks, but he really struggled to make an impact here, similar to Conor Gallagher (£5.4m).

And despite their back-five shape when out of possession, Spurs looked vulnerable defensively and left far too much space for Arsenal to exploit, allowing the visitors to create six big chances.

“Now in this moment, the team is full of problems. The only key is to work on the training day by day and be humble. We need to be more aggressive, we need to be more compact. These are the keys.” – Igor Tudor

The equaliser for Spurs arrived thanks to Kolo Muani after Rice had switched off at the back.

The Frenchman, who previously did very well while playing under Tudor at Juventus, had another harshly ruled out, too, but with Solanke and Richarlison (£6.3m) both on the bench, it’s hard to know exactly who will start at Fulham on Sunday.

HENDERSON HAUL, GLASNER ON LACROIX

Despite plenty of unrest from the terraces, Palace claimed their first win at Selhurst Park since November on Sunday.

With Maxence Lacroix (£5.1m) injured, Oliver Glasner’s back three was made up of Jaydee Canvot (£4.5m), Chris Richards (£4.4m) and Chadi Riad (£4.0m).

They were far too easily exposed in the first-half, however, and essentially owed their clean sheet to Dean Henderson (£5.0m), who saved Tolu Arokodare’s (£5.4m) poorly taken penalty on his way to a 16-point haul.

Further forward, it was often slow and sideways for Palace, but Yeremy Pino (£5.8m) did hit the post in the first-half, before substitute Evann Guessand (£6.2m) grabbed the late winner, finishing off Tyrick Mitchell’s (£5.0m) cut-back.

Starved of service, Jorgen Strand Larsen (£6.1m) had just one shot that was blocked.

As for Lacroix, he should be back on Thursday.

“It is a minor abductor injury but he should be back on Thursday. We can’t take any risks.” – Oliver Glasner on Maxence Lacroix

Wolves, meanwhile, remain winless on the road this season.

At Selhurst Park, they looked the better side in the first-half, with Mateus Mane (£4.6m) lively and winning the penalty, but despite getting into some decent positions, they weren’t clinical enough, the story of their season.

Indeed, Wolves have scored just five goals in 14 away matches in 2025/26.

The defeat on Sunday wasn’t helped by Ladislav Krejci (£4.5m), who was sent off for two bookable offences in the space of a few minutes and will now miss Friday’s Gameweek 28 opener against Aston Villa.
