Back to Winning Ways at the Emirates?
After a bit of a wobble last weekend, the lads are back at the Emirates this Saturday and we've got Wolves up next. Now, I know the league table doesn't make for pretty reading for our visitors – winless in the league and looking a bit adrift – but we can't afford to get complacent, can we?
The Opta supercomputer is giving us a massive 85.4% chance of taking all three points, and honestly, the stats are pretty staggering. We've scored in our last 35 meetings with Wolves! That's a run stretching back to 1979. It's hard to see them stopping that streak, especially at home.
But as Mikel Arteta so rightly pointed out in his pre-match presser, we absolutely cannot afford to switch off for a second. He's warned us all about complacency, and honestly, I'm right there with him. You see it all the time in the Premier League – teams fighting for their lives, with nothing to lose, can be incredibly dangerous.
On the injury front, it's still a bit of a mixed bag. Saliba, Timber, Trossard and Rice are all in the "we'll have to wait and see" category, which isn't ideal, but it sounds like we're not going to rush anyone back unnecessarily. The good news is that even with a few bumps and bruises, our squad depth is looking strong, and we've got players ready to step up.
So, let's get behind the team, make some noise at the Emirates, and make sure we start this one with the intensity our manager is demanding. COYG!

Now, let's talk business! Arsenal has inked a multi-year deal with Deel, a global payroll and HR platform. This is a pretty significant move, marking Deel's first big splash into the world of elite sports. As you know, the Visit Rwanda deal is coming to an end next summer and it's been a partnership that sparked a lot of discussion among us fans, and it's clear that the club is now looking to forge new connections with Deel. This news comes alongside the recent announcement of our partnership with Paramount+ , showing that Arsenal is actively seeking out innovative global brands to align with. It's an exciting time for the club's commercial side, and I'm keen to see how these new relationships help power our journey on and off the pitch.
